Biscuit Production (Hansard, 27 March 1946)

HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c371 371

§ 52. Mr. Tiffany
asked, the Minister of Food to what extent there is to be a reduction of biscuit production; and when this reduction is scheduled to begin.

§ Sir B. Smith
No decision has yet been reached in regard to the future level of biscuit production, which is dependent upon the availability of raw materials.

§ Mr. Tiffany
Is the Minister aware that the trade paper, "The Grocer," insists that such a reduction is imminent in May and that the source of its information is well authenticated, and will he investigate such a source?

§ Sir B. Smith
I seem to remember so many things being prophesied about what I propose to do in my Department.
