36. Mr. BROOKES

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether the Food Controller is considering the issue to the public of advice concerning the consumption of average weekly quantities of other staple articles of food in addition to those already published regarding meat, bread, and sugar?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of FOOD CONTROL (Captain Bathurst)

The Food Controller will be issuing general information for the guidance of the public through the organisation which he has recently set up at the Ministry of Food for this purpose. He does not at present propose to fix a voluntary ration embracing other staple articles of food.
