HC Deb 02 July 1917 vol 95 cc739-40
29. Mr. YEO

asked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to cases of persons indulging in market speculations calculated to raise the price of articles of food; and whether the Government will at once introduce legislation to prevent further action of this kind?

Colonel GIBBS

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on Friday to the hon. Member for South-West Ham and to the hon. Member for Rotherhithe with reference to questions of this nature.
