HC Deb 07 December 1926 vol 200 c1879
5. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is within the scope of the Food Council to consider the prices now being charged for coal?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

No, Sir.

Mr. MORRISON

In view of the very considerable patience shown by the public in face of the very high prices that are being charged for coal, particularly the coal sold in small quantities, would it not he possible to widen the scope of the Food Council to include coal?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is the question which has already been answered.
