§ 68. Lord SCONEasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has yet received the report of the commissioner upon the proposed Scottish raspberry marketing board; and, if so, when he intends to make public the report?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir Godfrey Collins)The report has been received and is under considera- 519 tion. As regard the last part of the question, reports on public inquiries held under the Agricultural Marketing Act, 1931, are confidential and publication would not be desirable.
§ Lord SCONEWill my right hon. Friend state whether this report or any part of it has been already communicated to the promoters and those who are in opposition to the scheme?
§ Sir G. COLLINSI shall be glad if the Noble Lord will put down that further question.
