HC Deb 20 December 1912 vol 45 cc1871-2W
Mr. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if he can now say in what form the Board's Market Reports will be issued after 1st January; if the English Report will contain any Scotch Reports from those markets near the border; and if the Scotch Board could be

supplied with Reports of some of the English border markets for them to report, and generally to exchange Reports for the use of those who use markets in both countries?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

After the 1st January next the Board's Market Return will include reports only from English and Welsh markets. In other respects the form of the Returns will be as at: present, but the charge of one penny now made will be discontinued. The Scottish Return will be issued separately by the Board of Agriculture for Scotland, and arrangements will be made whereby persons desiring the Returns of both Boards will be able to receive them.
