asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he can give any information in connection with the food control man at Richmond who was charged with having £2 worth of meat in his motorcar?

Major Lloyd George:

The person referred to was at the time a member of the Richmond food control committee, and the manager of a butcher's shop. He was convicted on 15th September of attempting to supply unlawfully seven joints of meat to his own household at a place in Wiltshire, and was fined £50 and ordered to pay 15 guineas costs.
