HC Deb 18 November 1919 vol 121 cc799-800
44. Lieut. - Colonel Sir NORTON GRIFFITHS

asked the Food Controller whether the price of rabbits is controlled; and whether they are scheduled by the Board of Trade under the Profiteering Act?

Mr. ROBERTS

The price of rabbits is controlled under the Wild Rabbit (Prices) Order, dated the 16th August. 1918 Articles of food the prices of which are controlled by the Ministry of Food are expressly excluded from the operation of the Profiteering Act.

Colonel ASHLEY

Does this apply to Ireland?

Mr. ROBERTS

No.
