§ 43. Sir. I. Fraserasked the Minister of Food if he will give instructions that the food office in Morecambe is to be kept open for the use of householders and 932 caterers.
§ Dr. SummerskillOwing to accommodation difficulties, the concentration in the Morecambe area will be confined to tie transfer of the administrative control of the food office to the Birkenhead district office. The Morecambe office will continue to be available for the use of consumers and traders until such time as suitable premises for the district office become available.
§ Sir I. FraserBirkenhead is 50 miles away; is that not a mistake?
§ Dr. SummerskillPerhaps the hon. Member is not quite clear on this point. Only the administrative control will be conducted from Birkenhead. Finally, the district office, in which I think the hon. Member is interested, will be at Lancaster.
