§ Major Procterasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he anticipates that the report of the departmental committee examining the allegations with regard to the excessive powers of marketing boards to impose penalties will be available in time for its recommendations to be incorporated, if thought fit, in the Milk Industry Bill; and whether he will endeavour to arrange that this shall be ensured?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI anticipate that the recommendations of the Committee will be of general application and will not be confined to the powers of milk marketing boards. If, as a result of these recommendations, legislation appears to be desirable, it will accordingly be more appropriate that such legislation also should be of a general character.
