IMPORTS OF POLLARD
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES
WATCH ON PRICES
(Parliamentary .Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day
Authority has been granted to the Wheat Committee to import supplies of pollard' for the assistance of the poultry industry and to build up stocks for emergency purposes. This announcement was made by the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan today. The Minister said the decision had been reached after consultation with the Wheat Committee on the findings of the Price Investigation Tribunal on the prices of Australian bran and pollaTd. The tribunal had found that in certain instances in the past merchants’ margins were on the high side, but since the inquiry had been held, there had been a modification of prices. Both the tribunal and the Wheat Committee will closely watch the position to see that the margins are maintained at a reasonable letfel. The fact that the Wheat Committee is making purchases from time to time would tend to keep the margins as low as possible in addition to helping the supply position.
