§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir Edward Strachey)The Board are considering what action, if any, they can with advantage take in this matter.
Captain FABERMay I ask whether this could not come under the Food Stuffs Act of 1906?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYI do not think it would be possible.
Captain FABERCould it be brought under the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, under which it can be declared whether any such thing is unreasonable?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYI do not think it could be done.
