55. Mr. Horabin for

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food the public advantages which will be secured by the recent change in methods for the distribution of tea?

Major Lloyd George

The recent change in methods of distributing tea to retailers will ease shopping difficulties by enabling the consumer to obtain tea at the most convenient shop. Replacements will, in future, be based on actual sales and not on the basis of pre-war trading.
