§ MR. C. WHITEasked the Food Controller whether a wholesale butcher with a weekly turnover of £4,000 would make a weekly profit of £235; and whether he will state on what basis this is allowed?
§ Mr. McCURDYThe hon. Member would appear to have been misinformed. The rate of commission allowed to wholesalers who distribute meat on behalf of the Ministry of Food is 2½ per cent.; on this basis the gross income on a weekly turnover of £4,000 would be £100.
