§ Mr. N. M'LEANasked the Food Controller whether, in view of the prices being 51W charged for haddock and other varieties of fish by the wholesale merchants, in many cases above his own selling price, he will reinforce the control upon fish?
§ Mr. McCURDYThe prices being charged for fish by wholesale merchants at the chief fishing ports are no higher than the recent control prices, and in many instances the wholesale prices for the more popular varieties of fish are below these prices. It was anticipated that when certain varieties of fish, such as haddock, were in short supply, the prices would temporarily increase, but such increases are balanced by the lower prices of other varieties. In the opinion of the Food Controller the situation does not, at present, justify the reimposition of control.
