HC Deb 09 September 1942 vol 383 c170W
Mr. Parker

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will take steps to co-ordinate the policy of the Ministries of Agriculture, Food and War Transport and see that greater shipping space is saved by a large increase in the acreage under wheat and rye and a reduction in that under oats?

Mr. Attlee

I have been asked to reply. The food production programme is already determined after close consultation between all the Departments concerned with a view to saving the maximum amount of shipping space.
