HC Deb 19 May 1938 vol 336 cc601-2W
Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, what action he has taken or proposes to take in response to consumers' complaints addressed to him regarding the recent increase in potato prices in Scotland?

Mr. Wedderburn:

My right hon. Friend does not himself appear to have received any complaint from a consumer or body of consumers on this subject, but I understand that a general representation from an agricultural organisation regarding the effect of the operation of the Potato Marketing Scheme has been made to the Consumers' Committee for Great Britain. Should that Committee decide to make any report on the subject, its terms will of course receive the consideration of the Ministers concerned.
