HC Deb 01 May 1963 vol 676 c119W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by what date the Verdon-Smith Committee on Meat Marketing will publish its report.

Mr. Soames

I am informed that the Verdon-Smith Committee is making good progress in its examination of the issues which have been referred to it. These cover a very wide field and it is not to be expected that the Committee can complete its programme much before the end of the present year.
