§ 71. Mr. HOLTasked the Food Controller whether the occupiers of sporting rights may present game or venison for sale at bazaars in connection with war charities; and whether such game or venison may be sold without coupons or restriction of price?
§ Major ASTOROccupiers of sporting rights may present game and venison for sale at bazaars in connection with war charities, and, in respect of such sales, the usual rationing requirements and restrictions of price may in approved cases be modified by special licence issued by the Food Commissioner. The forms of licence now in use provide in each case for the removal of price restrictions; but the purchaser is either required to present his ration book to the vendor for detachment of the appropriate coupons, or he must himself detach such coupons from the ration book and preserve them for production to his Food Control Committee if required. The new rate of coupon values for game and venison is quite liberal; it was published in the Press on 30th July.
