HC Deb 23 June 1913 vol 54 c795
62. Mr. HAMILTON BENN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the operations of the Chicago beef trust in South America; and whether he proposes to take any steps to safeguard consumers in this country against the establishment of a dangerous monopoly in one of the principal articles of the people's food?

Mr. BUXTON

I cannot at present add anything to the answer given on this subject to the hon. Member for North Shropshire on the 11th June.
