§ Brigadier-General SPEARSasked the Minister of Agriculture whether it is his intention to introduce at the earliest possible moment legislation to implement the recommendations of Lord Linlithgow's Committee as to licensing commission salesmen?
§ Mr. MOSLEYasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Distribution and Prices of Agricultural Produce, he proposes to take steps to carry out the recommendation of that Committee that commission salesmen in the wholesale fruit and vegetable market should operate under licence with clearly-defined conditions respecting commission charges and business codes?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe recommendation of Lord Linlithgow's Committee was that, failing regulatory action by salesmen themselves, representative associations of growers should bring pressure to bear in the direction of securing any necessary legislative action." There has hardly been time as yet for this matter to be considered by salesmen and growers, but I will take steps to ascertain their views on this subject.
