HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 cc1557-8W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that, while the buyers of feeding-stuffs have the right to demand from the sellers particulars of the charges made above the maximum fixed by the Maximum Prices Order, they are unwilling to ask for such particulars lest they should lose the small supply they are presently receiving; and whether he will make inquiries into the retail prices of feeding-stuffs, especially mixed feeding-stuffs, with a view to the abolition of profiteering in what is essential for the very existence of the livestock in the country?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I am having inquiries made into the cases that my hon. Friend has brought to my notice.
