HC Deb 26 January 1931 vol 247 cc630-1W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the opposition of Lhe National Poultry Council and the National Farmers' Union to the principles and details of the proposal in his Marketing Bill; and, in view of the check to home production which they are convinced will ensue, whether he will withdraw the Measure until he has consulted again with these producers' organisations?

Dr. ADDISON

I am aware of the opposition of the bodies referred to. I am also aware of a growing support for the Bill from the rank and file of producers. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
