§ 38. Mr. Woodburnasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, whether he has considered representations from the Stirling and Clackmannan Co-operative Association urging the immediate rationing of cheese, eggs and jam with a view to securing more equitable distribution; and whether he is prepared to take any steps in this direction?
Major Lloyd GeorgeYes, Sir. Urgent attention is being given to the more equitable distribution of unrationed foodstuffs generally, but I am not at present in a position to state what steps are likely to be taken with a view to improving their distribution.
§ Mr. WoodburnIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the great mass of sedentary workers would be quite willing to give way on some essential foods like cheese if they knew it was necessary for heavy workers?
