HC Deb 03 December 1947 vol 445 c388
60. Mr. S. Shephard

asked the Minister of Food which foods on points have been up-pointed during the past six weeks.

Dr. Summerskill

The only points rationed foods which have been up-pointed during the past six weeks are the special soft cheeses which are always reduced in points value during the warmer months to prevent delays in their sale.

Mr. Shephard

Could the hon. Lady say whether there is any intention of putting tinned soup on points in the near future?

Dr. Summerskill

I am afraid I could not anticipate.
