HC Deb 25 February 1924 vol 170 cc69-70W
Colonel PERKINS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will make it compulsory on wholesale dealers in potatoes and similar products, as it is in the coal trade, to carry weights and scales on the trolleys and, when demanded, weigh any particular sacks at the request of their customers in the greengrocery trade?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I have been asked to reply. There is no power under the existing law to impose a requirement of the kind suggested, but I shall be glad to consider any information on the subject which the hon. and gallant Member may be in a position to supply.
