HC Deb 30 June 1959 vol 608 c43W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware that difficulties have arisen over claims for the wheat subsidy; and what steps he will take by endeavouring to get the co-operation of millers and merchants in moving wheat off farms quickly, or otherwise, to enable farmers to get the appropriate wheat subsidy.

Mr. John Hare

No. No difficulties have been reported to me and there is no reason to think that merchants and processors are not co-operating in clearing the balance of the 1958 wheat crop. They know that wheat must be sold and despatched by 30th June to qualify for deficiency payment at the rate for the current accounting period
