Oral Answers to Questions — Food Supplies. – in the House of Commons at on 10 December 1941.
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will publish periodically through the Press or otherwise a list of representative foodstuffs showing the approximate profit made on the retail and wholesale prices, respectively?
Does the right hon. and gallant Gentleman appreciate that the publication of such information would be in the public interest and would give some guidance as to profiteering which may or may not exist?
Major Lloyd George:
The hon. Member or anyone who wishes can go to the Stationery Office and get all the figures.
Does not the right hon. and gallant Gentleman agree that the whole public cannot go to the Stationery Office?
