§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what restriction prevents Messrs. Hogg and Company, Dublin, who supplied 4 tons of sugar last year to Mr. John Lynch, Kneadsbridge, Killucan, from supplying him with any now, though he offers cash and they have ample stock; and whether he will have the restriction removed in this case?
Captain BATHURSTI am informed that Mr. Lynch did not obtain sugar from Messrs. Hogg in 1915. The firm are therefore debarred by the rules of the Royal Commission on the Sugar Supply from selling sugar to him at the present time. I understand that Mr. Lynch has already been in communication with the Royal Commission.
