HC Deb 06 April 1949 vol 463 c2049
58. Mr. Fitzroy Maclean

asked the Minister of Food whether he will now make a further statement regarding the action being taken by his Department in respect of the simultaneous issue in the last week of February of eight weeks bacon ration to the Manor House Hostel, Shanklin, Isle of Wight.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Dr. Edith Summerskill)

Proceedings having been instituted, the matter is sub judice, and it would not be proper for me to say more in reply to a Question which appears to pre-judge the issue to be tried by the court.
