§ 52. Mr. FINNEYasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the resolution passed by the council of the county borough of Stoke-on-Trent asking that steps be immediately taken to ensure, as far as possible, that food shall reach the consumer with the minimum risk of it becoming spoiled in transit, and that the Government arrange for the more speedy clearance of food by means of the railway, and insist upon the provision of properly equipped cold-storage carriages on the railways for the conveyance of food; and whether he will indicate the steps the Government have taken in the matter?
