HC Deb 10 July 1946 vol 425 c88W
105. Mr. Boothby

asked the Minister of Food what is the cause of the failure the Government to complete the proposed wheat agreement with the Dominion of Canada; and whether negotiations are still being carried on.

Mr. Strachey

Negotiations for a new wheat agreement were entered into at request of the Canadian Government. Considerable progress was made during my visit to Ottawa but there are certain matters still outstanding. These are at present under consideration by the two parties.
