§ 38. Mr. de Freitasasked, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what reply he has made to the National Farmers' Union's proposal for an international dairy products council.
§ The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Mr. Christopher Soames)I have not yet replied to the National Farmers' Union's letter but hope to do so very shortly.
§ Mr. de FreitasDoes the Minister realise that such a council, with Governmental representation, could benefit both the consumer and the producer? Ought he not to do everything he can to help and not delay further a reply?
§ Mr. SoamesThere are many things to consider. I shall do it as soon as possible and reply.
