HC Deb 05 August 1918 vol 109 cc899-900
37. Mr. SUTHERLAND

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in order to do away with a large measure of the dissatisfaction which now exists, he can see his way to substitute for local butchers on the grading committees butchers who do not buy meat in the locality?

Major ASTOR

No, Sir. Experience has shown that work of this character is more satisfactorily performed by men who are acquainted with local conditions.
