HC Deb 30 July 1941 vol 373 c1420W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware of difficulties arising from ambiguous interpretation of the Maximum Prices Order; and whether he will avoid reference to the Courts by ensuring more precise definition in respect of border-line cases?

Major Lloyd George

While the Ministry is prepared to assist the public whenever possible in explaining the intention of its Orders, the actual interpretation of any Order is a matter for a court of law. Every effort is made to ensure that the definitions included in the Ministry's Orders are as precise as possible.
