§ 39. Mr. PETOasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether it is intended to reduce the controlled maximum price offish during the summer months?
§ Mr. CLYNESThis is under consideration, and I may point out that Clause of the Fish (Prices) Order provides for the fixing of different prices for fish from time to time.
§ 42. Mr. GILBERTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether his attention has been called to the difficulties retail sellers of fried fish in London have in obtaining either fat or oils in order to carry on their trade; and whether, in view of the importance of this trade in supplying cheap food to many 1536 districts of London, he will cause special arrangements to be made by which sufficient fat and oils are supplied to boná fide members of this trade in order to enable them to continue to supply the public with necessary food?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Special arrangements have already been made, and will soon be in operation for the supplying of the necessary fats and oils to retail sellers of fried fish.
