§ 2. Sir J. D. REESasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can supply any information regarding the scheme for diverting supplies of sugar from businesses in which confectionery is one of the several concerns to businesses in which it is the sole concern; whether such scheme will be worked out by the Food Controller; and, if so, in what manner?
Mr. PARKER (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. The suggestion is under consideration at the present time, but I cannot yet say whether any satisfactory scheme for this purpose will be found practicable.
