HC Deb 09 November 1939 vol 353 c414
Sir Herbert Williams

(by Private Notice) asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the control of the manufacture of margarine?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes, Sir. In view of the supply position in regard to raw materials, my right hon. Friend is arranging with the industry for the immediate resumption of the manufacture of their own margarine, proprietary and otherwise, subject to certain conditions designed to ensure adequate supplies at reasonable prices for the consumer.

Mr. Sorensen

Is it intended that that supply will include margarine made from other oils than mineral oils?
