§ 40. Mr. Bowdenasked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the uneven distribution of biscuits, that some shops have none whilst others have good stocks; and what system of allocation of biscuits does he adopt.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe distribution of biscuits is managed by the trade. We have reviewed it with them recently and I hope that a rather wider spread of supplies will be effected.
§ Mr. BowdenCould my hon. Friend say what are the possibilities of increasing the overall supply?
§ Dr. SummerskillMy hon. Friend will remember that we gave increased sugar to manufacturers, and, therefore, there might be a slight increase next year.
