Major Braithwaiteasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied with the position of the agricultural industry and the way in which the farmers and farm workers have responded to the national call; and whether he can make any statement as to the policy to be pursued when the harvest is gathered?
Mr. HudsonI have just completed a tour during which I met members of the 62 war agricultural executive committees in England and Wales and a large number of their district chairmen. I am very impressed by the progress that has already been made with the food production campaign and the efforts that farmers and farm workers are making to ensure its success. I hope to make an announcement shortly regarding the programme for the coming season.
