10. Mr. ORR-EWING

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether be has seen the report of the judgment of the High Court, dated 30th November, 1934, to the effect that the City of London is not entitled to limit the right of sale by auction within the Spitalfields Market; and whether he will now have the statement upon page 157 of the Ministry's publication, Markets and Fairs, that the fruit exchange, which is part of Spitalfields Market, is conducted on the closed-room principle, corrected?

Mr. ELLIOT

I understand my hon. Friend to refer to the judgment in the case the Corporation of London versusLyons Son and Company (Fruit Brokers), Limited. I am informed that the question of entering an appeal is under consideration, and it is therefore undesirable that I should make any statement upon the matter raised in the latter portion of the question.
