I beg to ask the First Lord of: he Treasury whether he can now inform the House what form the promised Government inquiry into the subject of our National Food Supply in time of war will take; what will be its constitution, scope, and terms of reference; and when it will be appointed.

I am not in a position at present to do move than answer the first part of my hon. friend's Question. The form of the inquiry will be by Royal Commission. The constitution of the Royal Commission and the terms of the reference to it I will communicate to my hon. friend and the House as soon as I am able to do so.
