HC Deb 20 July 1936 vol 315 c56W
Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Agriculture (1) whether the Potato Marketing Board will take into consideration the view of the Consumers' Committee respecting the interests of those classes of consumers whose purchasing power is severely limited and avoid the application of any restrictive provisions in the scheme where the consumption is below the optimum level;

(2) whether the Potato Marketing Board proposes to publish, as recommended by the Consumers' Committee, the minimum margins and prices fixed by the market plan scheme?

Mr. ELLIOT

I am informed that the Potato Marketing Board will give careful consideration to the views expressed by the Consumers' Committee for Great Britain on these matters.
