§ 14. Mr. T. SMITHasked the Minister of Agriculture the number of complaints received by the committee to safeguard consumers' interests during 1934; and what action was taken?
§ Mr. ELLIOTDuring 1934 the consumers' committee for England received 30 complaints from consumers about the operation of the milk marketing scheme, Which they took into consideration in preparing reports upon the effect of the scheme on consumers. No other consumers' complaints relating to the administration of marketing schemes were received by this committee or by the corresponding committee for Great Britain, but the latter committee received seven complaints regarding bacon prices. For information regarding complaints received by the consumers' committee for Scotland, I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
