HC Deb 05 March 1917 vol 91 c47W
Mr. WING

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he will take steps to prevent speculative buying and selling in tea by fixing a price which will prevent exploitation and profiteering at the expense of the people's daily wants?

Captain BATHURST

The Food Controller has this matter under his personal consideration, and is conferring with importers, merchants, and brokers on the matter.
