HC Deb 22 July 1954 vol 530 c1562
48. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Prime Minister whether he will include producer marketing boards set up under the Agricultural Marketing Acts, 1931–49, in the terms of reference of the Select Committee to be set up to examine the running of nationalised industries.

The Prime Minister

No, Sir. The problems, character and organisation of agriculture marketing boards are quite different from those of the nationalised industries.

Sir W. Smithers

Is the Prime Minister aware that the object of this Question is to prevent the spread of the Crichel Down disease?
