§ MR. STANIER (Shropshire, Newport)To ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if the action of the National Federation of Meat Sellers in demanding a warranty on fat stock and the farmers' refusal to give one has been brought to the notice of the Board; and, if so, does the Board propose to take any action.
(Answered by Sir Edward Strachey.) The Board are carefully watching the discussions which are taking place on this subject, but they do not at present see that they can usefully take any action with regard to it.
