HC Deb 31 December 1916 vol 88 c1597
38. Sir J. AGG-GARDNER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give figures that would indicate how far the recent rise in the price of food has been due to increased consumption and how far to the decreased production and importation of food materials?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the FOOD CONTROL BOARD (Captain Bathurst)

I regret that such figures as are desired by my hon. friend are not available.
