HC Deb 14 July 1949 vol 467 c34W
45. Mr. Granville

asked the Minister of Agriculture, in view of the contemplated standstill arrangement on fresh purchases from the dollar area, what fresh means he proposes to increase agricultural production in this country.

Mr. T. Williams

The programme initiated in August, 1947, was designed to secure the maximum saving in dollar expenditure on food and feedingstuffs and is not materially affected by the standstill in fresh purchases from the dollar area.
