HC Deb 24 July 1930 vol 241 c2401
65. Major CARVER

asked the Minister of Agriculture if his Department possesses any information to show the number of shops selling butter in this country which do not stock home-produced butter at all?

Dr. ADDISON

The answer is in the negative. I understand, however, that retail butter surveys have recently been carried out by the Empire Marketing Board in Derby, Stoke-on-Trent, and in the North-East of England from which information of the kind desired by the hon. and gallant Member is available for the areas concerned. A retail butter survey covering the whole country is now being carried out by the Board, but is not yet complete.
