HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 cc1643-4
76. Mr. INSKIP

asked the Food Controller whether the Royal Sugar Commission habitually delivers short weight to retail traders in Bristol and, when complaint is made, refuses to allow credit for such short deliveries; and what action he is prepared to take to ensure that traders shall not be compelled to pay for sugar which has not been delivered?

Mr. PRATT (Lord of the Treasury)

There is no justification for the charge made by the hon. Member. If he has any specific case to bring forward, I shall be very glad to have it examined.
