HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 c1538W
Mr. DIXON

asked the Minister of Agriculture if the proposed Departmental Committee on the cost to consumer of agricultural produce will also inquire into the cost of feeding cake, milling offals and manures, and as to how far the price is increased unfairly by the operation of trade rings?

Sir R. SANDERS

The terms of reference to the Committee have not yet been finally settled, but as at present advised, I propose to limit the reference to the Committee to questions relating to agricultural, horticultural and dairy produce. It will be for the Committee, when set up, to decide on the particular articles to which their inquiry will be directed.
