§ 57. Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether his attention has been drawn to the irregular and inadequate supplies of fruit juices for children under five in Basingstoke; and whether he will take measures to improve a situation which is causing comment locally?
§ Mr. MabaneYes, Sir. Steps have been taken to meet the difficulties referred to, and I am assured that the position is now satisfactory.
§ Squadron-Leader DonnerWill the Minister consider sending additional supplies if I send him letters I have received from parents in Basingstoke complaining that supplies are unsatisfactory?
§ Mr. MabaneNo, Sir. We sent supplies sufficient to meet immediate requirements some time ago, and some more were sent yesterday.
§ Squadron-Leader DonnerIs the Minister aware that I received letters on the subject only yesterday?
