HC Deb 23 February 1931 vol 248 c1756
56. Mr. ROSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, under the Agricultural Marketing Bill, producers will be required to purchase agricultural requisites, such as feeding stuffs, from a marketing board, or whether they will be free to purchase elsewhere?

Dr. ADDISON

Under the Agricultural Marketing Bill, producers cannot be required to purchase agricultural requisites, such as feeding stuffs, from a marketing board. I am glad of the opportunity to deny a grossly inaccurate statement to the contrary which forms part of a circular, issued by the National Poultry Council, soliciting the opposition to the Bill of producers and corn merchants.
