Potato Marketing Board (Hansard, 28 January 1976)

HC Deb 28 January 1976 vol 904 c240W 240W

§ Mr. George Rodgers
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to introduce a greater element of consumer representation on the Potato Marketing Board.

§ Mr. Bishop
No. The Potato Marketing Board is essentially a producers' organisation. The consumers' committees, set up under the Agricultural Marketing Act 1958, adequately represent the interests of consumers, and the Great Britain committee is in fact currently reviewing the potato marketing scheme.
