§ Colonel LlewellinThere is every indication that retailers will co-operate wholeheartedly in the Government's proposals for economy in retail deliveries. The schemes may vary from place to place as we intend traders to work out the form of organisation best suited to the local conditions. Schemes will be made, wherever practicable, throughout the country and will be brought into operation as soon as ready.
