HC Deb 09 July 1900 vol 85 c957
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick's)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the recent report from Germany showing how the law against gambling in futures in grain has operated, the Board of Trade will consider the advisability of introducing similar regulations regarding options in food supplies in this country.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. RITCHIE,) Croydon

There is no intention to introduce legislation of the kind referred to in the hon. Member's question.
