HC Deb 18 December 1946 vol 431 c1957
51. Mr. James Callaghan

asked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to increase the allocation of points goods and of soap, custard and blancmange powders to South Wales, in view of the fact that the percentage allocation operated unfairly.

64. Mr. Percy Morris

asked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to improve the allocation of foodstuffs to South Wales, as requested by the Council of Grocers' Associations.

Mr. Strachey

But for some unrationed foods distribution according to prewar trade does operate unfairly in certain particular areas of South Wales where unemployment was heavy before the war, and I am having this put right.
