§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that farmers are able to obtain short term credit at reasonable rates of interest to enable them to produce the maximum for the war effort?
Mr. HudsonYes, Sir. The prices recently announced will, in my opinion, ensure that most farmers will be able to get satisfactory credit accommodation through the ordinary channels. Farmers who cannot do so may obtain help from their County War Agricultural Executive Committees in various ways, including help under the Agricultural Requisites Assistance Scheme.
