HC Deb 11 May 1932 vol 265 cc2043-4

Lords Amendment: In page 15, line 1, after the word "distributed," insert the words: on behalf of the Flour Millers' Corporation by a person appointed (after consultation with that corporation) by the Wheat Commission.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.—[Sir J. Gilmour.]

Dr. SALTER

I should like to ask whether it is intended that this gentleman shall be a chartered accountant, and whether he is to be paid for his services in this connection?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Yes, Sir. The purpose of this Amendment is to make proper provision for the distribution of the profits of the Millers' Quota Fund by an independent person, an accountant appointed by the Wheat Commission after consultation with the Flour Millers' Corporation, and, naturally, he will be remunerated for that work.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 24, line 43, agreed to.
