HC Deb 12 July 1938 vol 338 cc1083-4
5. Mr. Parker

asked the President of the Board of Trade what answer has been received from the Food Council to the proposal for an inquiry into the costs of retail or wholesale distribution of fruits which was passed on to them?

Mr. Stanley

The Food Council, I understand, do not consider that the suggested inquiry would be likely to lead to any useful results.

Mr. Parker

Do the Food Council ever do anything active?

Mr. Stanley

Yes, Sir; they do a number of active things.
