§ 25. Captain WRIGHTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in the interests of home-grown food production, the Food Controller will fix a price for wood-pigeons, sparrows, and rats?
Mr. PARKERI presume the intention of the hon. Member to be that a reward should be offered for the destruction of the pests in question. This would be a matter for the Food Production Department.
§ Captain WRIGHTIs the hon. Gentleman aware that a considerable number of people who have had experience of some of the Orders issued by the Ministry of Food arc of opinion that if the Food Controller would be good enough to fix a price for these pests they would at once disappear?
