THE GUARANTEED PRICE
REPORTED OBJECTION TO INCREASE
SUGGESTION DENIED BY MINISTER irom Our Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON. September 13. A suggestion that the Government is being asked to check any upward movement in the guaranteed price for dairy products is contained in a question to the Minister for Marketing (the Hon. W. Nash), notice of which was given by Mr W. J. Broadfoot (National, Waitomo) in the House of Representatives to-day. . Mr Broadfoot asked whether the Minister had received a remit from the Te' Kuiti branch of the Labour Party, protesting against the farmers being given a higher guaranteed price for their butter. It was stated that the chairman of the Honey Board was instructed by the Director of Internal Marketing to get such a remit passed, and forwarded to the Minister, on account of a prospective fall in the London butter market. Mr Nash asked permission to make an immediate reply to the question. “I know nothing whatever of any such resolution,” he said. ‘‘l have had no communications with the chairman of the Honey Board.” »
