HC Deb 05 November 1962 vol 666 c36W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that officials of the Potato Marketing Board have been stopping goods vehicles on the public highway in order to interrogate their drivers; and whether he has authorised this action.

Mr. Marples

I have no evidence that the Potato Marketing Board has sought to stop vehicles on the public highway; the answer to the second part of the Question is "No".
