HC Deb 26 February 1917 vol 90 c1656
25. Mr. G. LAMBERT

asked the Minister of Munitions when it is proposed to effect a reduction in the price of feeding cakes to the farmers, which have been doubled during the War, and which is hampering the production of milk and other food products?

The MINISTER of MUNITIONS (Dr. Addison)

As my right hon. Friend is aware, I was asked only last week by the Food Controller and by the President of the Board of Agriculture to appoint Mr. Bigland as Controller of Oils and Fats generally. I shall be glad, therefore, if my right hon. Friend will repeat his question a little later.

Mr. LAMBERT

Will there be power to fix the prices?

Dr. ADDISON

I will consult my right hon. Friend.
