Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of his decision to postpone the introduction of the Wheat Bill, he will consider incorporating therein provisions to encourage the increased use of rural mills on the lines proposed in the Restoration of Mills in Rural Areas Bill?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonAs at present advised, I am doubtful whether the provisions of the Restoration of Mills in Rural Areas Bill would increase the total amount of wheat offals available in this country, which I understand to be the chief object of the Bill. On the other hand, they would involve a departure from the principle that the Wheat Act should not interfere with the free market for wheat in this country. I cannot, therefore, undertake to include such provisions in the Bill for the amendment of the Wheat Act which I propose to introduce next Session.
