Miss Elizabeth Bobbett said that by utilising the nation’s credit, the food subsidies could be restored without increasing taxation. As this was an agricultural country, it was very necessary that the farmers should have their views heard. She believed that farmers should get a fair price from the Government for what they produced for export, and not to be dependent on the price which the importing country was prepared to pay.
