HC Deb 23 July 1946 vol 425 cc1866-7
47. Mr. Pritt

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what are the respective priorities for the supply of insulin to civilian internees in Germany and to the general German population; and why the latter are lower in the scale than the former.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Mr. John Hynd)

In the British zone insulin is supplied to both civilian internees and the general public through the German authorities. The Control Commission have laid down no priorities for its supply, nor am I aware of any adopted by the Germans. My in- formation is that supplies are adequate to meet hospitals demands in full for both the general public and the internees; limited quantities are also available for sale to the public in chemists' shops.
