HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 c767
29. Mr. Jay

asked the Minister of Food what he estimates will be the total expenditure on food subsidies in the financial year 1952–53.

Major Lloyd George

I must ask the right hon. Gentleman to await the publication of the revised Estimate of my Department.

Mr. Jay

But has not the right hon. hon. and gallant Gentleman any figure in mind as a basis on which he decides the changes in the prices of food? If he has such a figure, surely he can tell the House what it is?

Major Lloyd George

I hope to let the House have it early in July.
