HC Deb 06 February 1930 vol 234 c2101W
Lord FERMOY

asked the Minister of Agriculture what schemes for standardising, grading, and marketing of agricultural produce his Department now has actually in hand, apart from the marketing of meat and the grading of fruit?

Mr. N. BUXTON

Schemes under the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act, 1928, have already been applied to home-produced apples and pears, eggs, Cornish broccoli for export, tomatoes and cucumbers, wheat flour, malt products and home-killed beef. Schemes relating to dressed poultry, strawberries, cherries, canned fruits and cider are under consideration.
