77. Sir WALTER RUNCIMANasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that 5,000 casks of Danish butter arrived at Newcastle-on-Tyne on Friday, the 17th May. and was put on the quay, and still remained there on 27th May, awaiting 960 Order, 1918, dated the 4th May, at 2s. 8d. per lb. To sell at a lower price constitutes a summary offence against the Defence of the Realm Regulations. The latter half of the question does not appear to arise.
