Mr. Rostron Duckworthasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the suggestion which he has made that the tea ration should be supplemented by using coffee, he is taking steps to control the price of coffee and prevent profiteering?
§ Mr. BoothbyThe stocks of coffee held in this country at the present time are so substantial that there is unlikely to be a rise in price as the result of any increased consumption due to the rationing of tea.
