asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that Mr. B. J. Isgar of 46, King Street, Canterbury has been refused a meat feeding stuffs retail sales licence without any reasons for refusal being stated, although Mr. Isgar holds a licence to slaughter and has premises licensed by the local authority; and what are the reasons for the said refusal.

Although Mr. B. J. Isgar was informed that his two applications for a retail licence to sell meat feeding stuffs were refused because the proposed trading premises were unsuitable he was unfortunately not told of his right to appeal against the decision of the food control committee. Arrangements have therefore been made for the reconsideration of his case.
