§ 105. Mr. Harrisonasked the Minister of Food, in view of the grave position existing in the markets of this country dealing in vegetables and the concern expressed by the growers and the general public at the high prices, if he will take immediate steps to remedy this state of affairs.
§ Mr. F. WilleyThe retail prices of most vegetables are at or below the controlled maximum prices which were in force some years ago. I do not know what immediate steps my hon. Friend has in mind but the present system of marketing is being examined by the Government with a view to reducing the costs of distribution. This is a complex problem of which no early or simple solution can be expected.
