§ Mr. ORDE-POWLETTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware that there is no representation of the North Riding on the Yorkshire Advisory Committee for the purchase of wool; and whether he will issue instructions that a representative for that Riding be placed upon it?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe three farmers' representatives on the local Advisory Committee for Yorkshire were selected in consultation with the chairman of the Farm Produce Committee for Yorkshire. If it is the desire of the farmers in the North Riding to be separately represented, I am willing to appoint an additional member on the recommendation of the chairman of the Farm Produce Committee.
§ Mr. ORDE-POWLETTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether, in view of the difficulty and uncertainty that will arise in the event of wool from different farmers becoming mixed in the warehouses, he will arrange that all wool be sold, weighed, and paid for on leaving the owners' premises?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe course suggested in my hon. Friend's question has been carefully considered, but I fear it is impracticable.
