§ 32. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Food why the new price schedule for 1304 confectionery was precipitately withdrawn; and if he is aware of the confusion and uncertainty this action imposed on confectioners.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI have neither issued nor withdrawn a price schedule. I recently decided to defer for the time being an increase in confectionery prices to consumers pending further information about the future level of production.
§ Mr. SorensenCan the right hon. and gallant Gentleman say when he is likely to come to a conclusion about the matter?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI shall have to look into the matter. I cannot come to a conclusion until I am satisfied about the figures.
