Wheat Tax To Be Returned To Growers
The Minister for Commerce introduced a bill to repay 11 000 pounds taken as wheat tax from 1945-46 and 1946-47 crops. Repayments would be made per bushel with interest, before Christmas for 4-6, and later for 6-7. Further sums expected from 1947-48 were noted, but a stabilization fund was deemed insufficient to fund future needs. The already collected amount would be returned to the growers.
