Lieutenant-Colonel Sir JOHN HOPEasked the Food Controller when it will be possible to again allow farmers to sell meat direct to butchers and so save to the consumer the 11s. 4d. per cwt. in the case of cattle and the 1s. 8d. per completed 10s. of mutton value in the case of sheep which are now added by him to the price paid to feeders?
§ Mr. G. ROBERTSI would inform the hon. and gallant Member that the answer to his question was printed in the OFFICIAL REPORT of the 19th instant.
