§ 56. Sir Henry Morris-Jonesasked the Minister of Food whether he will increase the ration of chocolate and sweets to the people in bombed areas.
§ Colonel LlewellinI regret that the supply position does not enable me to do what my hon. Friend wishes. I have, however, given permission to local authorities to buy a reasonable quantity of sweets for distribution to children in emergency rest centres after an air raid.
§ Sir H. Morris-JonesDoes my right hon. and gallant Friend appreciate that chocolate gives great sustenance and comfort, especially to women and children and non-smokers, and, if he has chocolate to spare for other people, will he give it to our people now?
§ Colonel LlewellinI regret that I could not hear my hon. Friend's question.
§ Sir H. Morris-Jones rose——
§ Mr. SpeakerI hope that we shall not have it all again.
