Sir H. Webbe

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what orders he has made under sub-paragraphs (c), (d) or (da) of paragraph (1) of Regulation 55 of the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939, or paragraph (1a) of the same Regulation?

Mr. Mabane

Of the current Orders made by the Minister of Food, 139 contain provisions which derive their validity from the powers confered upon the Minister by sub-paragraphs (c), (d) or (da) of paragraph 1 of Regulation 55 of the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939. No orders have been made by the Minister under the powers conferred by paragraph (IA) of Regulation 55.
