HC Deb 03 August 1910 vol 19 c2756W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture for Ireland, whether, in view of the frauds committed against the Irish butter industry as well as to promote the sale of pure Irish butter, he will take steps to establish in London what may be known as the Irish House, where all Irish creameries can send their butter direct, and where the retailers and others in London anxious for pure Irish butter can have no difficulty in finding the same, and by the getting up of such a store the profits from the time the butter leaves the dairy until it is consumed at the table would go to the producer, instead of at present going into the pockets of commission agents and others?

Mr. BIRRELL

The answer is in the negative.
