§ Viscount HinchingbrookeI beg leave of the House to present a Petition on behalf of a number of residents in the town of Swanage, Dorset. The Petition showeth:
That the rationing of bread will inflict great hardship, both on consumers and on distributors, involving both wastage and shortage through defects in the system, and that the allowance for housewives and manual workers is inadequate. Wherefore, the 'petitioners pray that such Order be cancelled with the least possible delay. And as in duty bound they will ever pray.
§ Petition to lie upon the Table.
