HC Deb 02 July 1917 vol 95 cc738-9
26. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether a retailer will be considered to have contravened the Regulations in selling Government cheese at less than the stated price. 1s. 4d. a lb., where he is supplying institutions, coffee shops, and other customers who are not buying the cheese for their own personal consumption?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Roberts)

I have been requested to reply to this question. The point mentioned and certain other matters of detail connected with the sale of Government cheese are receiving consideration, and I hope that an announcement will be made to the trade very shortly.

Mr. ROWLNDS

Will the hon. Gentleman accelerate that information?

Mr. ROBERTS

I will do what I can to expedite the matter.
