§ 33. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consider making it compulsory for all hotels and restaurants which supply imported meat, poultry, eggs, etc., to notify this fact on their menus, distinguishing between foreign and Empire produce?
§ Mr. ELLIOTAs I informed my hon. and gallant Friend in reply to a somewhat similar question put by him on 31st May, 1934, I am afraid that legislation to give effect to his suggestion would not be practicable.
§ Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEIf my right hon. Friend cannot take action on those lines, can he encourage hotel proprietors who do supply British produce to state that fact on the menu, which would force others to do the same?
§ Mr. ELLIOTI am sure the custom of one individual more or less would not be very important, but, if every Member of the House were to act in this matter, I am sure it would have a good effect.
