Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCK
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that the prices charged by hotel proprietors to commercial men is often far in excess of the value of the food supplied; and whether he will take steps to prevent this practice?
Mr. CLYNES
:Complaints of overcharge in restaurants and hotels have been received from time to time. As I informed the hon. and gallant Member for Enfield last Monday, the Food Survey Board are considering whether any and what action can usefully be taken.
