HC Deb 27 July 1943 vol 391 cc1417-8W
Mr. Etherton

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why the Emergency Powers (Defence) Food (Ox and Calf Tongues) Order (S.R. & O., No. 951 of 1943) frees from price control any ox or calf tongues preserved in airtight glass containers?

Mr. Mabane

In order to release for consumption a very small residual stock of these commodities, the costs of production of which were higher than those of the normal variety in cans.
