§ 96. Sir S. Reedasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been drawn to the position of farmers in the vicinity of Aylesbury, whose wheat was bought and paid for last year, left to be bagged and collected, still remains in the barns, is being eaten by rats, and occupies space urgently needed for other purposes; and what action he proposes to take to clear this wheat.
§ Mr. CollickI have been unable to discover any place in this area where the situation described by the hon. Member exists. At present there is a strong unsatisfied demand for wheat from the local merchants. If the hon. Member will give me the address of any farmer or merchant concerned the matter will receive immediate attention.
