Mr. David Adamsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour whether he will consider immediate action to economise labour by preventing overlapping deliveries of milk, bread and other commodities?
§ Mr. BoothbyI have been asked to reply. A substantial economy of labour has already been achieved by the distributive trades in the delivery of milk, bread and other foodstuffs, but my Noble Friend hopes to secure still further economy as a result of consultations which are taking place with the trades concerned.
