Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in connection with 817W the supply of feeding-stuffs, when available, he will, through the county war executive committees, grant credit facilities to farmers to enable the farmers to pay cash to the retailers for the food supplied, since the wholesalers are calling on the retailers for ready money down, and the retailers are passing on this demand to the farmers, who, by reason of the endeavour to double their output, are, in many instances, without any ready money at all?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI would refer my hon. Friend to the statement which I propose to make during the course of today's Debate in the House, to which at present I have nothing to add.
