HC Deb 24 May 1944 vol 400 cc755-6W
Mr. Hewlett

asked the Minister of Food whether he can make any statement on the purchase of mutton from Iceland, including its age, price, and quantity.

Colonel Llewellin

Yes, Sir, we bought a small quantity of mutton from Iceland and unfortunately some of it was marked on the package as lamb, which it was not. We have taken steps to see that any butcher who was issued with mutton as lamb can claim an appropriate refund for it as mutton.
