§ Mr. Piratinasked the Minister of Food whether he will consider setting up a Royal Commission, on the lines of the Linlithgow Commission, to inquire into the cost and the use of manpower in the processing, preparation, distribution and marketing of food.
§ Mr. StracheyI sympathise with the hon. Member's objectives but I am satisfied that more fruitful and rapid results will follow from the continuance of my present practice of proceeding byad hoc inquiry into the problems of particular food industries, utilising where necessary the services of independent experts, as I am already doing in the case of milk.
