HC Deb 20 March 1918 vol 104 c974
87. Mr. FABER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will state, taking into account home supplies and imports from abroad, which is the scarcer, wheat or meat?

Mr. CLYNES

In view of the fact that meat is severely rationed, while bread and flour are at present unrationed, it would be safe to infer that at the present moment meat is scarcer than wheat.
