HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 cc2393-4
58. Sir J. WALTON

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the rise in the price of meat, His Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of arresting the increase by limiting the sale per head of the population?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Prime Minister has asked me to reply to this question. The whole situation as regards meat sup- plies and consumption is under review by His Majesty's Government, but I am not yet in a position to make a statement, thereon.
