60. Mr. C. EDWARDSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government contemplate the splitting up of the Food Ministry into several branches under different heads; and, if so, whether they are doing so after consultation with, and with the approval of, the Food Controller?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe whole problem of food supply affecting our Allies as well as ourselves is constantly under the consideration of His Majesty's Government, but always in consultation with the Food Controller.
§ Mr. HOGGEWill my right hon. Friend say if it is the intention of the Government to set up a new Ministry of Supply in addition to the Ministry of Food?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThere is no such intention, though, of course, the whole subject, as I have said, is constantly being reviewed.
