HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 c305W
Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Food what is the total number of prosecutions that have taken place for overcharging in the meat trade; and in what districts principally they have occurred.

Mr. Webb

On the number of recent prosecutions, I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Dartford (Mr. Dodds) on 18th October. These prosecutions were widespread throughout the United Kingdom.
