Captain RAMSAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that Scotland could supply all the oat products required in the United Kingdom; and whether, in view of this, he will take steps to prohibit the importation of oat products?
§ Dr. BURGINThe information at my disposal is insufficient to enable me to confirm the suggestion made in the first part of the question. As regards the policy of His Majesty's Government in the 2611W matter of oats and oat products, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the statements made by my right hon. Friends the Minister of Agriculture and the Secretary of State for Scotland on 11th July and 25th July, respectively.
