§ Squadron Leader Burdenasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that sugar confectionery in the form of Easter chicks imported from Holland and weighing 1½ oz. each are on sale at 6d. each, and that for two pieces a 4-oz. sweet coupon is demanded: and whether he will discourage the import of foreign confectionery that does not offer value comparable with British manufacturers.
