asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether it is proposed to publish the terms of the licence referred to in paragraph 10 (1) of the Food (Canning, Bottling and Freezing of Vegetables) Order (Statutory Rules and Orders, 1943, No. 236), having regard to the fact that the breach of the terms of such a licence is a punishable offence?

It is the practice of my Department to publish all licences and directions which are of general application but not to publish licences and directions issued to individual traders. No licence in the former category has been issued in accordance with the provision of the Order to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers.
