§ 76. Mr. WATTasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the same representative of the Wool Purchasing Department is to do the work this year in the South-West of Scotland; if so, will be give his name and previous experience in wool before becoming the War Office representative for this work; what remedy in the way of appeal against his decisions are farmers to have whose wool is wrongfully, in their view, graded as second-class or as broken wool; and have they simply to accept the buyer's statement of the value or are they to have any remedy for his wrong valuation?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part, I would refer the hon. Member to a reply given to him on 19th December last. Any farmer dissatisfied with the district officer's valuation is at liberty to ask him to refer his case to the Advisory Committee on Wool Purchase for Scotland.
§ Mr. FORSTERI do not think we can give permission in every case, but it will be given as far as possible.
