HC Deb 24 September 1943 vol 392 c552W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food how many prosecutions his Ministry have initiated for selling strawberries at the wrong price; and how many have been successful?

Mr. Mabane

No separate records are maintained of convictions for selling strawberries in excess of the maximum price and my Noble Friend does not consider that the expenditure of time and labour involved in extracting the information would be justified.
