MILLERS' MUTUAL ASSOCIATION.

HC Deb 18 July 1939 vol 350 c191

69. Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will set up a Departmental Committee to in quire into the workings of the Millers' Mutual Association?

Mr. Stanley

No, Sir.

Mr. De la Bère

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the Millers' Mutual Association is an association for fixing the price of flour and is directly responsible for the price of bread not being reduced, and that the matter cannot be allowed to stand where it is?

Mr. Stanley

I disagree with all my hon. Friend's statements.

Mr. De la Bère

Owing to the thoroughly unsatisfactory nature of that reply, I beg to give notice that I will raise the matter on the Adjournment.

Mr. Macquisten

May I ask my right hon. Friend whether, in view of the attack on the people's food by this association, he will consider calling in Scotland Yard to deal with the situation? The offence is rank.
