HC Deb 24 May 1944 vol 400 cc744-5
56. Mr. Wootton-Davies

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that, owing to the rationing of cooking fats, the larger proportion of fish-frying establishments are having to close down; whether he will reconsider his present policy and institute a more generous treatment of these establishments, especially in view of the fact that, whilst many of these shops are closing down, other catering resorts in some districts are being reopened.

Colonel Llewellin

No, Sir. My hon. Friend is, I am afraid, misinformed as to the facts in regard to both parts of his Question.
