§ 57. Sir C. HENRYasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what progress has been made in obtaining a larger supply of saccharine; and whether it is proposed to fix a maximum price for this article?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe progress which is being made with the manufacture of saccharine in this country is as satisfactory as can be expected, having regard to the technical difficulties surrounding a new manufacture of this character. The prices of tablets made from British-made saccharine have been fixed by arrangement with the trade, and it is hoped that in the near future it will be possible entirely to dispense with the supplies of higher-priced imported saccharine.
