§ Captain Bullockasked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to increase the production of smoked sprats and smoked eels; and if the nutritive value of these foods is being made known to the public.
§ Colonel LlewellinI have recently made an Order increasing the maximum wholesale and retail prices of smoked cooked sprats, which, I hope, will encourage their1080W production during the sprats season next winter. Smoked eels are not subject to price control, and demand should automatically encourage production. The quantities available of both smoked sprats and smoked eels are in any event so small that publicity would probably result in disappointment to the public.
