HC Deb 08 November 1948 vol 457 c147W
2. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Food at what prices the Argentine Government has offered to sell coarse grains; and how these prices compare with those current in the U.S.A.

Mr. Strachey

No offers of coarse grains have been made by the Argentine Government to my Department recently. We, of course, bought 1,272,000 tons of coarse grain in the Argentine this year, and this grain is now arriving.
