HC Deb 31 October 1939 vol 352 c1753
Mr. A. V. Alexander

(by Private Notice) asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that complaints are pouring in from all over the country with regard to shortage of butter supplies and of inequitable distribution of this commodity and of bacon, and in view of the urgency of the matter will he now state the date on which he proposes to introduce the rationing scheme?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to put a question on this subject to me to-morrow, when I hope to be able to make a statement on the matter.
