Captain FABERasked the Prime Minister whether, with a view to preventing a panic rise in the price of food in war time, he will consider the advisability of acting upon the advice of the Royal Commission and providing a six weeks' supply of corn at the annual expenditure of £100,000?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEIt is not at present proposed to adopt any scheme of grain storage.
Captain FABERMight I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he will represent to the Prime Minister, that, looking at the enormous rise in the price of provisions in the last week, the rise in war time would be absolutely terrific?
