HC Deb 28 July 1933 vol 280 cc2960-1
28. Sir THOMAS ROSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Agriculture, whether he can now make any further statement as to the appointment of a reorganisation commission for eggs and poultry.

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Major Elliot)

The appointment of a Reorganisation Commission or Commissions will be proceeded with as soon as the desires of the producers have been ascertained. At present the Scottish position is not quite clear but I understand that my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Scotland is conferring with the producers there at a very early date. Immediately thereafter I hope to arrange with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland for the necessary action. I can assure my hon. Friend that I am fully informed as to the desire of English producers for early action.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Can the right hon. and gallant Gentleman give us any idea when the Scottish position with regard to anything will be perfectly clear?

Major ELLIOT

It is all too clear as a rule. That is one of our chief difficulties.
