HC Deb 10 March 1920 vol 126 cc1285-6W
Mr. CHADWICK

asked the Minister of Food whether the views of the Consumers' Council upon the abolition of control over the various articles of food now controlled have been formally sought and recorded; whether he will in that event state what recommendation was given in each case; and whether it was followed?

Mr. McCURDY

It is the general practice of the Food Controller to consult the Consumers' Council with regard to any contemplated abolition or modification of control over articles of food. The various recommendations which have been made are too numerous and too lengthy to be included in the scope of a Parliamentary answer, but I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a Report issued by the Consumers' Council on the 31st December, 1919, in which he will find the information for which he asks.

Forward to
