HC Deb 26 February 1920 vol 125 c1941W
Mr. SITCH

asked the Minister of Food whether, in the inquiry recently instituted by him into the strike of milk producers in the South Wales and Monmouthshire district, his attention was called to instances where producers poured large quantities of milk into ditches and drains; and, if such waste has been established, whether he proposes to sec that the law is enforced by instituting prosecutions against any producers guilty of such waste of vital food supplies?

Mr. McCURDY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. If any such case as that referred to by the hon. Member is brought to the notice of the Food Controller, proceedings will be instituted against the offender.
