HC Deb 26 February 1919 vol 112 c1763W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Food Controller whether, in view of the fact that butchers have to buy their meat early in the week, he will alter the date of the reduction of meat prices from Saturday to Sunday?

Mr. McCURDY

It has been arranged that the reduction in the wholesale and retail prices of beef, veal, mutton, and lamb, both home-killed and imported, shall come into operation on Monday, 3rd March. The amount payable by butchers for live stock will be reduced as from Thursday, 27th February.
