HC Deb 19 June 1940 vol 362 c173W
Mr. Lyons

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the apprehension that exists at the omission to control prices of certain foodstuffs in common use which have had high increase in price, he will consider taking powers to apply the provisions of the Prices of Goods Act to those foodstuffs about which price complaint is made?

Major Lloyd George

I would refer my hon. and learned Friend to the reply which was given to him by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food on 29th May.
