§ 45. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Minister of Food to what extent butchers were unable to obtain sufficient meat to enable them to honour the ration entitlement during the quarter ended 31st March.
§ The Minister of Food (Mr. Strachey)To no extent.
§ Sir T. MooreWill the right hon. Gentleman say if that answer applies to Scotland? From information at my disposal it seems that many local butchers have not had sufficient beef to meet their requirements during the last three months.
§ Mr. StracheyWe have made extensive inquiries and can find no case.
