HC Deb 30 April 1951 vol 487 c114W
73. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Food if he will rescind the instructions given by his Department that imports from Eire of Friary Bell stewed steak are to be diverted from wholesalers and regular customers to the catering authorities of the Festival of Britain, and thus ensure that Festival visitors are not fed at the expense of the rest of the population.

Mr. Webb

No such instruction has been issued by my Department. This trade is entirely in private hands
