HC Deb 29 January 1918 vol 101 c1439W
Colonel AUBREY HERBERT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that owing to the fixing of the prices of meat the importers of foreign meat arc not releasing their stocks for consumption, thus causing unnecessarily a drain on our home supplies; and whether he proposes taking action in the matter?

Mr. CLYNES

The answer to the first. part of the question is in the negative; the second part does not, therefore, arise.
