Food Prices
In England Questions Asked In Commons
LONDON, Feb. 9 (Reuter).— The House of Commons 171 Thursday night discussed the Government's scheme for pre- venting a rise in food prices_by subsidies of £1,000,000 a week.
Mr. A. V. Alexander, Labour mem- ber, said that the taxpayer was already providing £40,000,000 a year through extra duties on sumir and tea, and he was now asked to and £50,000,000 more for food subsidies. He made It plain that Labour thought some of the payment to farmers was too high,
Sir John Simon replied that £50- 000,000 would prevent a further rise In the food index of 12 points. The qualilies of certain commodities must be reduced if they were to win the war, he said.
