HC Deb 15 November 1918 vol 110 c3107W
Mr. KING

asked the Food Controller what responsibility or action is taken by him where local food committees, in carrying out orders or under instructions from Food Ministry officials, contract bad debts?

Mr. CLYNES

Any case of the description suggested in the question would be dealt with on its merits, after consideration of all the circumstances. No such case appears to have been brought before the Ministry by any Food Control Committee, but if the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of any case he may have in mind I will inquire into it.
