HC Deb 17 July 1919 vol 118 c620W
Mr. PURCHASE

asked the Food Controller whether prices of jam are fixed for this season; and whether, in view of the plentiful crop in this country, particularly in stone fruits, and also the considerable importation of fruit into this country, it will be possible to make substantial reductions in the old scheduled prices?

Mr. ROBERTS

The schedule of maximum jam prices dated 26th August, 1918, is still in force. It is proposed to revise this schedule shortly, and it is hoped that the price of several varieties of jam will then be reduced.
