HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1266
75. Mr. LOUGH

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether at present there is any regulation preventing the sale and use of potatoes in shops, clubs, hotels, and other public places; and whether he will consider the advisability, in existing circumstances, of arranging that all restrictions may at once be removed?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The restriction on serving potatoes in public eating places has been repealed by the Public Meals Order (No. 3), made on 3rd July, and potatoes may now be supplied on any day in the week.

Mr. LOUGH

Do any restrictions remain on the sale or use of potatoes at the present time?

Mr. BRIDGE MAN

I cannot answer that without notice.
