HC Deb 28 February 1935 vol 298 c1326W
Mr. T. MORRIS

asked the Minister of Agriculture the point or points of view of poultry keepers on the report of the Poultry Reorganisation Commission; and what action the Government propose to take on the document?

Mr. ELLIOT

I understand that the national organisations of producers agreed, before the report was published, that they would consult together as soon as the recommendations made by the commission were known, and that those consultations are now proceeding. It is perhaps early to expect the organisations to have framed definite conclusions on the commission's report. As regards the last part of the question, it is for the egg and poultry producing industry, not for the Government, to decide whether steps are to be taken with a view to promoting a marketing scheme.
