HC Deb 13 March 1917 vol 91 c897
39. Mr. BRUNNER

asked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether he has considered the question of large families in relation to the present price of food; and whether anything can be done to provide such families in poor circumstances with assistance to maintain them in health?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Hayes Fisher)

I hope that the measures which are being taken by the Food Controller will ensure a supply of food at prices which will not be beyond the means of most people in the country.
