§ 83. Mr. GILBERTasked the Food Controller if it is proposed to continue the issue of food ration books on the expiry of the present ones in use by consumers; if so, if he can state for what articles of 1849 food it is proposed to issue coupons in the future; and when such new ration book will be issued?
Mr. ROBERTSNo ration books will be issued after the expiry of the present books on 3rd May. The public should, however, keep their ration books carefully, as they will still be required for a time after 3rd May in connection with the rationing of meat, butter, and sugar. A further announcement on this point will be made shortly.
