§ 62. Mr. MOSLEYasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether, in view of the recommendation of the Departmental Committee on Distribution and Prices of Agricultural Produce, he will make representations to the railway companies with the object of inducing them to adopt a cash-on-delivery system for small consignments of fruit and vegetables?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThe question whether the railway companies should adopt a cash-on-delivery system for small consignments of fruit and vegetables is one for settlement by the companies themselves. I understand, however, that the Interim Reports of the Committee to which the hon. Member refers are being considered by the railway companies, and I am sending them a copy of his question and this reply.
