42. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that the hon. Member for the Bridgeton Division of Glasgow, on the 15th of May last, called the attention of the Ministry of Food to the fact that certain farmers in the neighbourhood of Glasgow were charging 9d. per gallon for milk in excess of the corresponding price before the War instead of an excess of 6½d. per gallon as permitted by the Price of Milk Order; whether the matter was handed over to the milk section of the Ministry to deal with; and whether any action has been taken or is proposed to be taken?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe answer to the first two parts of the question is in the affirmative. The matter is now in the hands of the Procurator Fiscal.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe hon. Member knows what the duties and functions of the Procurator Fiscal are.
