HC Deb 08 April 1943 vol 388 cc828-9W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the efficient scheme that has been put forward by the Cake and Biscuit Manufacturers' War Time Alliance as a counter proposal for the concentration of the biscuit industry, he is prepared to consider favourably some such similar scheme suitably adapted to the requirements of the Soap Makers' and Fat Splitters' Federation?

Mr. Mabane

No, Sir. The principles of the scheme for the concentration of the soap-making industry have already been agreed with the council of the Soap Makers' and Fat Splitters' Federation and approved by the trade as a whole.
