WHOLESALE FOOD MARKETS
OBSOLETE AND INCONVENIENT LONDON, June 13
The Departmental Committee’s fourth report on London’s wholesale food markets states that the buildings in Covent Garden are obsolete and inconvenient, and add greatly to the 'cost of handling, causing delay in the delivery and despatch of fruit. The report emphasises the necessity of extending the market by securing neighbouring buildings, and draws attention to tho endeavours on the part of the owners to dispose of the market. The report strongly recommends that it he placed under public authority to ensure development in tho interests of trade and
the consumer. The report states that the Smitliinld Market is adequate for present requirements, with provision for any extension which can be foreseen. It declares that the suggestion to restrict tlie period in which meat is allowed to remain in cold storage needs careful investigation from economic and scientific standpoints before being adopted.
