§ 110. Mr. Bottomleyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to help Australia dispose of her surplus wheat production by Government bulk purchase or otherwise.
§ Mr. NugentThe Australian Government are in contact with us about their difficulties which, of course, reflect the wider problem presented by the world surplus of wheat, recently discussed by F.A.O. and the Wheat Conference at Geneva. Bulk purchase by the United Kingdom Government would hardly be possible, since the grain trade has been decontrolled.
