§ Lieutenant-Colonel WEIGALLasked the Food Controller what is the maximum price which a poultry producer can now obtain for produce; whether auctioneers can be granted wholesalers' or retailers' licences; and what is the maximum price for poultry now chargeable by retailers?
§ Mr. McCURDYThe maximum prices which the poultry producer may obtain for his produce are governed by the Poultry and Game (Prices) Order, 1918, of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy. Apart from his auctioneer's licence, an auctioneer does not require any special licence for the sale of poultry either by wholesale or retail. The maxi- 1763W mum price for poultry now chargeable by retailers is also shown in the schedule to the Order referred to.
