29 Oct 1945

therefore, that the Government as a complement to the statement of Food their intention of establishing as an essential and permanent feature of their policy for food and agriculture a system of assured markets and guaranteed prices, fixed well in advance, for the principal home products.* 6. We propose, should announce, proposed by the Minister 7. It would be unwise in present circumstances to attempt to define the future size and character of British agriculture, and there is no need to do so.
