HC Deb 28 September 1944 vol 403 cc469-70W
Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Minister of Food when it is intended to increase the present scale of rations, especially of meat, sugar and fats.

Colonel Llewellin

I have already announced that the cheese ration will be restored to 3 oz. a week with effect from 15th October, and that the increase from 20 to 24 points per period made when the cheese ration was reduced last spring will be maintained. My hon. Friend will be aware that ration scales are determined by the total supplies available; increases in the allowances of other foods will be made as soon as the supply position of those foods permits.
