HC Deb 22 December 1893 vol 20 c191
MR. DODD

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether the Agricultural Commission proposes to inquire into the practicability of the establishment of district markets in London for agricultural produce by the Railway Companies and the Local Authorities conjointly, and to consider what legislation is necessary to effect that purpose if found desirable; if not, whether he will ask the Commission to consider the propriety of making such inquiry, as also as to the possibility and utility of establishing between each such district market and particular country markets telephonic communication?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE,) Bradford, Central

The Agricultural Commission has not yet considered the question raised by my hon. and learned Friend, but I will undertake to bring it before them.
