The function of the committee is to carry out the export of butter and cheese to Great Britain. As such export is at present suspended, the staff of the committee, other than the secretary, have been assigned to other duties.
Will the Minister say what the secretary is doing if we are not exporting?
As a matter of fact, he is engaged at the present time in trying to wind up matters that were outstanding.
