§ 4. Brigadier Thorpasked the Minister of Food why farmers who require no licence to sell poultry and rabbits to a wholesaler and by retail are not allowed to sell to a retailer without a wholesale licence; and if he will annul this regulation.
§ Mr. StracheyWe cannot yet throw the wholesale trade open to anyone, but I think it is logical to allow producers to sell to wholesalers or to the public.
§ Brigadier ThorpCan the Minister explain what advantage it is to the people to retain this control?
§ Mr. StracheyAs long as we have to control the prices, I think it is necessary to control the wholesale trade.
