§ 84. Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that several hundred barrels of, syrup have been lying in the Surrey Commercial Docks for the last two years; what is the reason why it has not been removed for public consumption; and whether he intends to take such steps as will place or force it on the market?
§ The MINISTER of FOOD (Mr. McCurdy)The quantity of syrup at present in store at the Surrey Commercial Docks is comparatively small, and the oldest consignment was landed in September, 1919. The greater number of the barrels have only been there for a few weeks. In the circumstances, no action on my part would appear to be called for.
