HC Deb 28 March 1949 vol 463 c818
14. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Food if he will name the foods which both pay Customs or Excise Duty and are subsidised; and what is the rate of duty and subsidy in each case.

Dr. Summerskill

I regret that in the time available it has not been possible to compile this information. I will publish it in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as possible.

Mr. Keeling

Would the right hon. Lady explain the reason—I have no doubt that there is one—for putting something on the price on the one hand and taking it off on the other?

Dr. Summerskill

Perhaps the hon. Member will see the answer to that in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
