Mr. Charles Smith
asked the Minister of Food what supervision is exercised by his Department over the sugar refining margin and by virtue of what powers; and at what sum per cwt. this margin now stands.
Mr. Strachey
Close supervision of the sugar refining margin, based on costings investigations, is exercised by my Department, under my statutory powers. The net margin per cwt. is maintained at the pre-war figure.
