HC Deb 10 July 1946 vol 425 c390
56. Mr. Thomas Reid

asked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to prevent shopkeepers from refusing to sell fruit ors the first-come first-served principle, in order to discriminate in favour of certain customers; and what steps persons discriminated against should take.

Mr. Strachey

I should not like to embark on an attempt to control the conduct of shopkeepers in this matter.

Mr. Reid

Will my right hon. Friend answer the last part of my Question?

Mr. Strachey

No, Sir, I am afraid can offer my hon. Friend very little advice on that point.
