§ 25. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce legislation to control the excessive prices of sugar-free foods and confections, in view of the effect these charges have on the cost of living of diabetics who are compelled to buy them.
§ Mr. PriorWhile I recognise that these special foods add variety to the diet of diabetics, there are several alternative sources of supply and I have no evidence that prices are excessive in relation to the costs of production.
