Corn Production Act 1917
text:
The Corn Production Act 1917 was an Act passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom under David Lloyd George's coalition government during the Great War. The Act guaranteed British farmers a good price for their cereal crops so that Britain would not have to import them, as German U-boats were sinking ships importing food into Britain. When it was repealed by Stanley Baldwin's Conservative government, the effects in rural areas were similar to a sudden slump.
