HC Deb 23 June 1932 vol 267 c1258
58. Mr. N. MACLEAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the price at present paid per ton for potatoes of the "Golden Wonder" variety to the farmers; the price per stone charged by the wholesaler; and the price per stone charged by the retailer to the consumer?

Mr. SKELTON

Average prices of potatoes of the "Golden Wonder" variety at Glasgow during the week ended 15th June in respect of transactions between grower and wholesaler, wholesaler and retailer, and retailer and consumer, were respectively £7 per ton and 1s. and 1s. 3d. per stone. I think I may add that £7 per ton is 10½d. per stone.
