HC Deb 07 December 1951 vol 494 c333W
Mr. George Craddock

asked the Minister of Food the number of prosecutions that have taken place under the Food and Drugs Acts during the past three years; and the comparative figures for 1929, 1930 and 1931.

Major Lloyd George

The Food and Drugs Acts are administered by local authorities and local food and drugs authorities. I regret that the figures asked for are not available in respect of the earlier three years and could not be provided in respect of the more recent period without disproportionate effort.
