§ 53. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Food if, in view of the importance of securing a big output of home-grown linseed this season, he will restore the arrangement by which farmers who sell linseed to his Department are given coupons entitling them to purchase linseed cake.
§ Mr. WebbSuch an arrangement could only be restored at the expense of the feedingstuffs ration. Even when it was in force, it did not prevent a decline in the acreage of this important crop, and I hope that the price, under the arrangements coming into force on 30th June, will be a more effective incentive.
