Former MP for Blackburn
74. asked the Food Controller if he is aware that the controlled price of 28s. per score for pigs bought by dead-weight is being totally ignored by breeders and dealers in all parts of the country; that the average price is far in excess of this; and if he is prepared to take such steps as shall ensure the controlled price being enforced?
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the amount that is-being charged at the present moment is far in excess even of the figure which he has given, and that this difference is being made up of fictitious expenses, which do-not allow the pork butcher to have any margin on his sales?
If I am able to bring evidence of this, will the hon. Gentleman be willing to go into it?
