§ Mr. SITCHasked the Food Controller whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Gilbert Edwards, who is desirous of returning to his pre-war occupation of fish buyer, and whose application for a wholesale fish merchant's licence has been refused; whether he is. aware that other men who were not in the trade prior to the War have been granted licences; whether he will state the reason for refusing the licence in the case of Mr. Edwards; and whether the decision of the Ministry will be reconsidered?
Mr. ROBERTSI have made inquiry into this case, and from information at my disposal I am satisfied that there are no grounds for interfering with the decision of the Local Food Control Committee
