On January, 23 the Steeg Government was defeated in the Chamber following criticism of M. Boret’s wheat price plan, and resigned. A sensation which was expected to lead to a crisis arose in the Chamber on January 16 when M. Boret, Minister of Agriculture, announced a decision to increase the tariff on imported wheat, sending up the price from 14/- to 14/7 a hundredweight. M. Meyer, Under-Secretary of the Department of Commerce, contradicted M. Boret’s announcement, which he said had not received Cabinet’s approval, as it was feared that the move would lead to wild wheat speculation.
