HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 c2W
37. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that boiled ham is being sold at 10s. per lb; and whether he intends to control the price of this commodity.

Mr. Webb

Yes, but I do not think it would help to control these small un-subsidised quantities; this would only drive canned ham off the market.
