HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 cc1568-9
79. Mr. LOUGH

asked the Prime Minister whether he will cause the Order in Council dealing with food to be laid before Parliament; and if a desire to discuss its terms is brought to his notice will he give this House an opportunity of doing so?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Regulations have been published and the first two Orders made by the Board of Trade thereunder have been laid before the House. It is the intention to lay other Orders before the House as they may be published from time to time. With regard to the second part of the question, opportunities will arise for discussing these matters in the ordinary course of business.
