HC Deb 26 April 1934 vol 288 cc1877-8
65. Sir R. GOWER

asked the Minister of Agriculture when it is anticipated that the report of the commission to consider the reorganisation of the poultry industry will be received by him; and if he will represent to the commission the desirability of expediting the preparation and delivery of such report to him?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

My right hon. Friend does not expect to receive the Report of the Reorganisation Commission for Eggs and Poultry for some months. The commission have an important and difficult task and he is satisfied that they appreciate the need to make as rapid progress as is possible.

Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when he expects to receive this report; and will he consider asking for an interim report on eggs only?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

That point has been raised in a previous supplementary question, and I will convey it to my right hon. Friend.
