§ 68. Mr. Bowdenasked the Minister of Food if cake manufacturers are free to allocate their products as they wish, or do retailers receive an allocation of cake in proportion to their 1939 trade with the manufacturers and the total ingredients granted to them.
§ Mr. StracheyManufacturers of cakes and flour confectionery are free to sell their products to whom they wish, but as allocations of rationed ingredients are based on trade in 1939, I expect them to treat their prewar customers fairly and to have regard to equitable distribution of their products.
