HC Deb 17 November 1931 vol 259 c688W
Mr. LEONARD

asked the President of the Board of Trade what machinery has been set up to operate the Foodstuffs (Prevention of Exploitation) Act; and whether any instances of profiteering have yet been brought to light?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The work in connection with this Act is being carried on by the Department in consultation with representatives of the food trades concerned. With regard to the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to-day to my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton East (Mr. Mander).
