§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThe Consumers' Committees for Great Britain and England, which are charged with the duty of considering and reporting upon the effect on consumers of agricultural marketing schemes, have met once in full session since 1st January last. They have made no report or recommendations during this period. The committees are drawn from the same personnel as the Food Council, a copy of whose general report, issued in March last, I am sending to my hon. Friend.
