HC Deb 26 October 1949 vol 468 cc153-4W
78. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Minister of Food for what reason his divisional food officer overrode the decision of the Christchurch Food Control Committee not to grant a retail licence for fresh meat to the Parkstone and Bournemouth Co-operative Society.

Mr. Strachey

This licence was granted on appeal because the Society already held 84 meat registrations for customers in Christchurch and the nearest branch was 2½ miles away.
