sharp protest in the Commons.
A recent court was at Wis- bech, Cambridgeshire, revealed that, under the authority of the Food Ministry, persons are sent out with instructions which are aimed at tricking shopkeepers into breaches of the rationing regulations,
Mr R. C. Morrison, M.P, ruised the matter in Parliament.

Young Woman Decoy
In the case cited, a young woman, acting on instructions contained in Ministry circular, unsigned visited several shops in Wisbech. She presented the traders with a ration card which bore a fictitious name and address.
In one case, It is alleged, she walted outside the shop until the manager had gone, leaving in charge an inexpertenced assistant aged 18.
The magistrates who tried one of the cases which followed this young woman's activities imposed only a small fine and expressed their dis- approval of the course taken.
