HC Deb 17 November 1950 vol 480 cc209-10W
Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Food whether he will give a list of foodstuffs which he has freed from price control, showing the price before decontrol and the present price.

Mr. Webb

As announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 2nd November. I am at present making a review of food prices which have been decontrolled, and in the course of this review the information which my hon. Friend seeks is, of course, being collected and assembled. This is bound to take some time, as there is a good deal of material to be examined, but as soon as the information is ready I will send it to my hon. Friend and place a copy in the Library
