§ 97. General COLVINasked the Food Controller whether millers' offals for chicken food are being retailed at 9s. 6d. per half-bushel, or at the rate of £7 12s. per quarter; and whether, in fairness to the producer, the Government will control these prices so that the price of millers' offals is proportionate to the price of corn?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The price of millers' offals has been fixed since the 7th February, under the Cattle Feeding-stuffs (Maximum Prices) Order, 1918, at £13 a ton ex mill, with certain authorised additions which in no case should exceed £3 a ton. If the hon. and gallant Member will inform me of any instance in which these prices have been exceeded, I will see that proper action is taken.
