HC Deb 06 December 1948 vol 459 c18
31. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Food what steps he proposes to take to prevent the waste of garden fruit grown in the expectation that sugar would be available for home-made jam.

Dr. Summerskill

With the aid of the increased domestic ration in 1949, and of bonuses on the scale of previous years which will be made if our present estimates of supplies is reached, I see no reason why there should be any waste of garden fruit grown for home-made jam.
