§ Mr. Maitlandasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, with the object of assisting the poultry industry, he will consider the practicability of making arrangements whereby English wheat may be available to poultry farmers at a reduced price?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonAs my hon. Friend will be aware, the supply of English wheat available for poultry farmers has greatly increased since the passing of the Wheat Act, 1932. Moreover, the limit of the "anticipated supply" under the Act was increased, by the Agriculture Act of last Session, from 27 to 36 million cwt. On the information before me, I do not think that it would be practicable, for various reasons, to make arrangements of the kind suggested, but if my hon. Friend would wish to state more precisely what he has in mind, perhaps he would communicate further particulars to me.
