Mr. De la Bère:

asked the Minister of Food whether, in connection with the price of £34 16s. 3d. per ton recently paid for Argentine wheat, which compares with the price of £18 8s. 4d. per ton of English wheat, the Government will discontinue their methods of bulk purchase from Government to Government with a view to ultimately allowing the price of wheat all over the world to be equalised by the operations of the market.
