HC Deb 28 July 1949 vol 467 c170W
84. Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that the National Union of Small Shopkeepers made a complaint to his Department in December last, concerning the contravention of the Food Rationing (General Provisions) Order, by a Mr. Beeson; and since his inspectors were satisfied that this was so, what action his Department is taking against this individual, who has now returned to this country, and is carrying out his former activities.

Dr. Summerskill

In March this year this man was convicted and fined a total of £100 and costs for contravening the Food Rationing (General Provisions) Order.
