HC Deb 20 November 1917 vol 99 c994
25. Mr. T. WILSON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if the Chorley Food Control Committee has only been allowing a Mr. Howarth, who owns a temperance bar in that town, and who manufactures the herbal drinks he sells, 1 ⅛ lbs. of sugar per week; that that amount is now stopped; and that Mr. Howarth has been informed by the firm who supplied him with sugar that they have been instructed not to supply him with any more sugar before February next; and whether, with the object of preventing this man being ruined, he will give instructions that sugar must be supplied to him?

Mr. CLYNES

I am causing inquiries to be made, and I will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
