asked the Minister for Agriculture if, in view of the general demand by farmers for an increased price for wheat, he would now consider the advisability of acceding to that request in order to make more sure a sufficiency of bread for the people when this year's crop has been harvested.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Increased Price for Wheat.
As already publicly announced, the price for wheat of the 1942 crop has been increased from 45/- to 50/- per barrel.
Was it not well that the Minister woke up at the eleventh hour?
But the Deputy knows who woke him up.
I am claiming my share of the credit, and Deputy Belton also.
Question No. 33.
I think I ought to be allowed to ask a supplementary.
I understood the Deputy to have asked one.
No; I had not finished. I think that, to get sufficient wheat sown, 50/- is not enough.
That is not a question; it is a statement.
Call it what you like. If there is not enough wheat sown the Minister will find the responsibility on his shoulders.
