HC Deb 18 February 1918 vol 103 cc439-40
28. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he can explain definitely and clearly the position of a farmer under the Regulations directed against food hoarding who has a stock of home produce consisting of bacon and jam; and whether the farmer under such Regulations is required to give such stock up, less two weeks' supply, to the authorities at half-price?

Mr. PARKER

The Food Hoarding Order does not apply to any home-produced or home-made article of food in the possession of the producer or maker.

Mr. TERRELL

Is a farmer entitled to use such stock for his own consumption, regardless of his food tickets?

Mr. PARKER

The hon. Member must take the answer I have given.
