HC Deb 12 July 1933 vol 280 c1074
25. Mr. MITCHESON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the desirability of applying to new foreign-owned factories the principles of control to be established in respect of certain food-processing factories under the provisions of Clause 6 of the Agricultural Marketing Bill?

Dr. BURGIN

The provisions of Clause 6 of the Agricultural Marketing Bill will, under the terms of the Bill, apply to foreign-owned factories as To others, but there is no present intention of applying the principles of that Bill to industry generally.

Mr. MITCHESON

May I take it that there is a difference of opinion between the President of the Board of Trade and the Minister of Agriculture on this matter?

Dr. BURGIN

Certainly not.
