§ 46. Mr. Thorneasked the Minister of Food if he can give any information about the amount of cheese the Canadian Government intend sending to this country during the next two years; and if those entitled to buy cheese will be allowed to buy more.
§ Colonel LlewellinNo, Sir, I am afraid that I cannot say what will be the amount of cheese that we shall purchase from Canada over the next two years. It will depend on the effect on production of weather and other conditions. That which we get will be distributed on the ration, and I cannot say at this time what the amount of that ration will be.
§ Mrs. TateWould my right hon. and gallant Friend consider the possibility of distributing any additional cheese which may be available to agricultural workers, miners and quarrymen in places where canteens are not available, in preference to the ordinary consumer?
