§ 81. Mr. SNOWDENasked the Parliamentary Secretary whether ho will consider the possibility of doing something more to secure a further supply of sugar for the manufacture of sweets and chocolates whereby the public requirements may be met and the position of small shop keepers may be alleviated?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe sugar position, actual and prospective, is not such that any additional issues of sugar for the manufacture of sweetmeats can, at present, be contemplated. The position of the small shopkeeper has recently been dealt with by the issue of the Sale of Sweetmeats (Restriction) Order, which will substantially increase the supplies available for them.
