HC Deb 26 November 1947 vol 444 c1988
59. Colonel Wheatley

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that there are thousands of cases of tinned rasher bacon lying in the stores in Australia; and if he will arrange for this to be brought to this country to supplement the bacon ration.

Mr. Strachey

The Australian Government are selling us a quantity of canned meats, including canned bacon, which is surplus to their requirements. I cannot say as yet how we shall distribute it.
