HC Deb 15 March 1926 vol 193 c15
31. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider the desirability of establishing a market for the sale of Dominion produce, and especially of Dominion and Colonial fruit, in connection with the proposed removal of Covent Garden market?

Mr. AMERY

I have no doubt that when the necessary arrangements in connection with the scheme for Empire marketing are further advanced the suggestion of my hon. Friend will be amongst those which will receive consideration, though I would remind him that the interests of the home producer have also to be borne in mind.

45. Mr. RAMSDEN

asked the Prime Minister when and how it is proposed to give effect to the recommendations of the Imperial Economic Committee with regard to the marketing of Empire supplies?

Mr. AMERY

I have been asked to reply to this question. I regret that I am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to a number of questions on this subject on let March last, as the correspondence with the Dominions is not yet complete.
