RELIEF TQ DOMESTIC
MARKETS

present under consideration,
The Minister of Agriculture and Marketing (Mr. Barclay) said today that several conferences on the subject had been, held, but the scheme had still to be hammered into shape.
The committee which was set up some time -ago, after the investigation by the Price Tribunal into the. high costs of fruit and vegetables, has the matter in, hand, and officers of the Department of Agriculture are working in' fconjunction with the committee.
