HC Deb 10 March 1948 vol 448 c1240
59. Mr. Sidney Shephard

asked the Minister of Food if he will now allow bread to be served with meals in restaurants without having to count it as an extra course.

Mr. Strachey

No, Sir, not at the present time.

Mr. Shephard

Would the right hon. Gentleman say what is the estimated saving of bread grains for 1947 as a consequence of this Order, and can he give any assurance when this restriction is to be removed?

Mr. Strachey

I could not give an answer to the first part of the supplementary question without notice. As to the second part, the restriction will be removed as soon as possible.
