HC Deb 17 October 1939 vol 352 c715W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture why, in regard to the sale of hay on the farm, it has been decided to depart from common practice and retain the cost of baling or trussing hay on the buyer by fixing the price per ton and leaving it to the buyer to defray expenses of the method of preparation for transport?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

The Feeding Stuffs (Maximum Prices) Order made by the Ministry of Food fixes maximum prices on the basis of trussed hay, but does not preclude a buyer from purchasing hay in stack at a price which makes allowance for the cost of trussing.
