HC Deb 25 October 1950 vol 478 c355W
70. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Food what reply he has given to the request made to him by the National Federation of Meat Traders Association that he should make a practical demonstration how butchers can make a profit with present costs; and, if so, what reply he has given to this request.

Mr. Webb

The costings investigation on which my Department relies reflects the actual profits earned by butchers over an agreed period. The National Federation has been told of this several times.
