HC Deb 26 May 1943 vol 389 cc1582-3W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why no explanatory note was attached to the Emergency Powers (Defence) Food (Manufactured and Pre-packed Foods) Order (Statutory Rule and Order, 1943, No. 666), in order that the significance of this Order might be appreciated without the necessity of obtaining two earlier Orders published in 1942?

Mr. Mabane

I would refer by hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Members for Newport (Sir R. Clarry) and Stretford (Mr. Etherton) to-day.

Mr. Wakefield

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why no explanatory memorandum was attached" to the Emergency Powers (Defence) Food (Cereal Fillers) Order (Statutory Rule and Order, 1943, No. 629), as it is not possible to understand the significance of this Order without consulting one Order published in 1941, four Orders published in 1942, and one Order published in 1943?

Mr. Mabane

I would refer by hon Friend to the reply given to the hon. Members for Newport (Sir R. Clarry) and Stretford (Mr. Etherton) to-day.
