HC Deb 20 June 1917 vol 94 c1801W
Mr. NIELD

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food when the limitation of prices of butcher's meat will be definitely fixed; and whether these prices will be made effective so as to control the profits to be taken by the producer as well as all persons handling the goods, including the retail butcher?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

A scheme for the purpose mentioned in the question is now under the consideration of the Food Controller.
