§ 35 and 36. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Agriculture (1) whether importers or consumers of bacon and bacon products were consulted before selecting members of the Bacon Commission;
(2) whether milk and milk-product importers or consumers were consulted before the members of the Milk Commission were selected?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe answer to both questions is in the negative.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSWill the right hon. Gentleman say why neither importers nor retailers not consumers were considered before the selection of the names was made?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe selection of each Commission's names was made in order to get an effective Commission before which all the interests concerned might give evidence.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSWhy was it found necessary to place landowners on the Commission, seeing that the people who actually deal in these products are not represented?
