HC Deb 08 July 1954 vol 529 c2339
45. Mr. Hurd

asked the Prime Minister whether arrangements have now been made to disband the Ministry of Food and transfer the few remaining functions to other Departments.

The Prime Minister (Sir Winston Churchill)

I have nothing to add to what I told my hon. Friend on 6th April.

Mr. Peart

In view of the uncertainty on meat prices and the uncertainty in the farming community on the policy of the Government towards marketing, will the Prime Minister be very cautious in this matter and not heed the doctrinaire people behind him?

The Prime Minister

I will certainly heed the injunction of the hon. Gentleman.
