Mr. DOYLEasked the Minister of Food if his attention has been called to the fact that, despite the reduction in the price of meat, milk, vegetables, etc., the prices at many restaurants patronised by professional, business, and working people still remain at the same high figure as when these commodities were rationed and excessively dear; and what steps he is taking to protect the public from such profiteering?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe Profiteering Acts have ben applied to all the principal articles of food which are not controlled, and also to ready cooked or prepared food. It is open to any person who considers that he has been charged an excessive price in a restaurant for any article of food to which the Profiteering Acts have been applied to lodge a complaint with the local committees established under the Acts for the purpose of hearing and determining complaints of alleged profiteering.
