HC Deb 27 January 1930 vol 234 c651W
Mr. MORLEY

asked the Minister of Agriculture when he proposes to take steps to grade and fix the retail prices of agricultural produce?

Mr. N. BUXTON

I have now under consideration proposals for establishing statutory grades for other descriptions of agricultural produce. I have no power, however, to fix retail prices of agricultural produce.
