§ 42. Mr. Glenvil Hallasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will issue regulations to require producers of margarine for domestic consumption to indicate its vitamin content in order that diabetic and other invalids forced to purchase margarine as a substitute for butter may know which brands to buy?
45 Mr. Whiteasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, in view of the decision that no supplementary allowance of butter is needed for invalids, he will issue instructions that vitaminised margarine should be clearly marked?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI would refer the hon. Members to my reply to the hon. Member for Consett (Mr. David Adams) on 25th January. All margarine sold for domestic consumption after 5th February will be vitaminised to the same extent as b[...]tter.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallMay I ask whether the hon. Gentleman will undertake that the packet will be marked with the percentage of vitamins in the margarine?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI could give no such undertaking, but all margarine will be vitaminised and it will contain Vitamins A and D to the same extent as butter.
