§ Mr. Boothbyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport, whether his attention has been called to the present situation regarding retail deliveries in the burgh of Fraserburgh; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerYes, Sir. When my hon. Friend wrote to me about retail deliveries in Fraserburgh, I called for a report. The scheme now being enforced in the burgh was prepared by agreement between the deputy regional transport commissioner and the divisional food officer. It has, I understand, the approval of the provost of the burgh. As a result of the discussions which have taken place, it has been proposed that a small local committee should be set up to deal with any cases of hardship which the scheme may involve. I trust that in this way the scheme may be worked with as little inconvenience as circumstances allow.
