HC Deb 11 March 1920 vol 126 c1523
45. Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Prime Minister whether he has received a further communication from the Consumers' Council asking for a reply to former representations that the Ministry of Food should be maintained and its powers strengthened; and whether a definite decision has yet been come to on this matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the last that the Government recognise that in present conditions the Ministry of Food must be continued in the meantime.
