Mrs. Adamsonasked the Minister of Food whether he has considered the communication from the Kent Authorised Potato Merchants Association to the effect that there is no provision for establishing a minimum shopping price plan in the Potato Marketing Scheme; and whether he intends to adopt the proposals to remedy this omission?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonYes, Sir. As the proposal involves the adoption of compulsory minimum prices, it would not be in the interests of the consumer, and I could not therefore recommend its adoption.
