asked the President of the Board of Trade whether having regard to the recommendations of the interim Report of the Committee on Distribution and Prices of Agricultural Produce with reference to the United Dairies Company, he is now prepared to introduce legislation to require all companies to file at Somerset House, and publish with their annual balance-sheets, returns giving full information with regard to costs and profits?
