HC Deb 21 May 1910 vol 116 c405W
Captain COOTE

asked the Food Controller whether he is aware that the pledge given to a meeting of East Anglian farmers! At Peterborough in March that committees should be set up to assess the damage to potato pits has not yet been fulfilled; and what steps have been taken in this direction?

Mr. McCURDY

The Food Controller has taken all the necessary steps to set up these committees which will be able to commence work as soon as he receives from the farmers' unions concerned the names of the representatives of the potato growers nominated to act upon the committees.
