HC Deb 19 June 1918 vol 107 c346
61. Mr. SOMERVELL

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he anticipates that provision can be made in due time for the supply of an extra allowance of sugar for the preserving of wild fruits, especially blackberries, thus compensating in a degree those classes who have no fruit gardens but have access to common land?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of FOOD (Mr. Clynes)

This matter, although beset with many administrative difficulties, is receiving sympathetic consideration. The importance of it is fully appreciated.
