Mr. KENNEDY JONESasked the Food Controller if he will state the price to the Government of the stocks of sugar, bacon, lard, condensed milk, rice, tea, maize, wheat, and flour, and dried fruits; whether there is a flat rate for all meat, including home supplies; and, if so, what it is?
§ Mr. McCURDYA number of particulars as to prices were given in the answer to the hon. Member on the 20th February. I am arranging that the hon. Member shall be supplied with a statement giving the further information asked for, so far as I understand his question. As regards the latter part of the question, meat is sold at a uniform price for each cut, whatever the source of supply. The present prices are given in the Meat (Retail Prices) Order, 1918, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
