               Redditch Food Control Committee – Alleged Profiteering – At a meeting of the
               Redditch Food Committee on Tuesday, Mr G. W. Hobson (Executive Officer) complained that
               the butchers were not complying with the Order by sending in the prices of meat.  An expert
               had visited the town, and had stated to the Secretary that profiteering was going on.  At the
               conference of the committee and the butchers, held a few weeks ago, he (Mr Hobson) said
               he thought they (the butchers) were going to play the game.
