HC Deb 22 December 1893 vol 20 c189
MR. DODD (Essex, Maldon)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he could call the attention of the Railway Companies running to London, and of the London County Council, to the sittings of the Agricultural Commission, and inquire whether they had any proposals to lay before that body, or suggestions to make to it, of affording increased market facilities in London for country produce likely in their judgment to alleviate the existing agricultural depression?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. MUNDELLA,) Sheffield, Brightside

It is fully within the competence of the Agricultural Commission to call for any evidence or to ask for any suggestions which they may deem necessary, and it is for the Commission to consider the suggestion of my hon. Friend, and my right hon. Friend the Chairman of the Commission has promised to do this.
