HC Deb 07 February 1949 vol 461 c26
39. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Food whether he will make provision for the supply of Parmesan cheese to the public through retailers throughout the country, in view of the attractive dishes which can be prepared from un-rationed foods with this cheese.

Mr. Strachey

We hope to import some Parmesan cheese from Italy this year.

Mr. De la Bère

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise how desirable it is to provide more variety of diet and will he do everything possible in order that something which is really good and tasty is provided?

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Will this cheese be on or off points?

Mr. Strachey

We have not yet settled that.

Mr. De la Bère

Make it off.
