HC Deb 27 February 1930 vol 235 c2449W
Mr. QUIBELL

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that foreign potatoes are being imported into King's Lynn and are receiving the full benefit of reduced railway rates under the Derating Act; and what action, if any, he proposes to take in order to prevent this continuing?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

Potatoes, other than new potatoes, were included in the Eleventh Schedule to the Local Government Act of last year as one of the traffics to benefit under the scheme of rebates from railway carriage charges, after consultation with agricultural interests, and it is not proposed to introduce amending legislation.
