HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 cc2023-4
31. Mr. LUNDON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he will cause inquiries to be made into the action of the big Irish millers who-have refused to supply any Indian meal to their customers during the past ten days, lest they may be holding up supplies until prices would go up?

Captain BATHURST

As I informed the hon. Member on Thursday, I cannot answer his question satisfactorily unless more particulars are furnished. If he will give me the names of the millers to whom he refers, I will cause inquiries to be made.
