Dr. HillMy right hon. and gallant Friend has just received, from the Retail Fruit Trade Federation, their proposals for the establishment of a horticultural commission which he will examine in consultation with his colleagues.
§ Miss BurtonAs the Parliamentary Secretary has anticipated a supplementary question, may I ask if he does not agree with the suggestions put forward and would he in order to convince the housewife that he really wishes to reduce the cost of living put forward another one?
