§ 32. Mr. AYLESasked the Prime Minister whether he is prepared to set up a Royal Commission to inquire into the differences between the cost of producing articles of consumption and the price at which those articles are sold to the consumer, and to make recommendations thereon?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe whole subject is under investigation, but I feel sure that a Royal Commission would not be the most effective way of attaining the object desired.
§ Mr. AYLESWhat does the Prime Minister think would be the most effective way of getting the desired result?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat is a matter to be considered.
