§ Sir A. Baillieasked the Minister of Agriculture why British suppliers are only allowing one-third of the normal requirements of cod-iiver oil to their customers, and at a price which is double what it was a month ago, although there are adequate supplies in the country?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI have been asked to reply. I understand that deliveries of cod-liver oil through the trade have lately been reduced with the object of conserving stocks in the country, pending the completion of the plans for safeguarding future supplies to which I referred in my reply to my hon. Friend on the 28th September. Inquiries are proceeding regarding the recent increase in price and I will communicate further with my hon. Friend.
