§ Sir ALFRED YEO(by Private Notice) asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether it is a fact that there are nearly 100 retail offal shopkeepers in London, many of whom have carried on business for thirty or forty years; whether these traders will have the opportunity to obtain the same proportion of supplies as other traders in meat, and that no attempt will be made to deprive these shopkeepers of their means of livelihood?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe answer to the first part of the question is In the affirmative. In order to enable these traders to carry on their business it is proposed to increase the coupon value of certain offals and to allow certain other offals to be sold free of coupons.
