Mr. Mabane

The main purposes of the Cereal Fillers (Control and Maximum Prices) Order, 1943, are:

(1) To confine the manufacture of these foodstuffs to persons who are licensed to undertake such work,

(2) To provide powers whereby the amount of flour used for such purposes may be controlled, and

(3) To fix a maximum price for an ingredient of sausages which are themselves subject to a maximum price order.
