§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the present distress in many branches of the farming industry and the divergence of opinion that exists as to the appropriate remedies, he will consider setting up an immediate inquiry, to formulate practical proposals for restoring and maintaining agricultural prosperity?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonInquiries have been made by a number of commissions and committees into agricultural problems in recent years and effective action has been taken, or is about to be taken, by the Government in respect of many important agricultural products. The Government are in possession of full information in relation to outstanding problems, and I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by a further inquiry of the nature suggested by my hon. Friend.
