HC Deb 25 June 1941 vol 372 c1048
51. Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether arrangements will be made to allow consumers the option of either taking the proposed extra cheese ration or of retaining the present butter ration?

Major Lloyd George

No, Sir. The proposal of my hon. Friend is impracticable.

Mr. Parker

Why does the Minister think this is an impracticable step to take?

Major Lloyd George

When people change their minds it becomes very difficult to deal with these matters.
