§ 24. Mr. Dayasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the information recently obtained by the authorities of the United States of America from the results of the census of the distribution of foodstuffs and to obtain comprehensive information in the United Kingdom, he will consider taking the necessary steps to introduce a similar census of distribution in this country?
§ The Secretary for Mines (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given him on 28th March.
§ Mr. DayCan the Minister now supplement that reply by saying whether the cost of production has generally been reduced since then?
