HC Deb 06 December 1927 vol 211 c1182
62. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Minister of Transport whether the advantages of the railway companies establishing food markets, either separately or in combination, have been investigated with a view to public convenience and relieving traffic congestion?

Colonel ASHLEY

I am not at present considering any proposals such as those my hon. and gallant Friend appears to have in mind, and, as at present advised, I doubt whether it would in general be desirable that the control of markets should be in the hands of railway companies.
