Sweets (Hansard, 6 July 1949)

HC Deb 06 July 1949 vol 466 c2143 2143

§ 47. Sir Ian Fraser
asked the Minister of Food whether he will now make a further statement about supplies of chocolates and sweets.

§ The Minister of Food (Mr. Strachey)
Not at present.

§ Sir I. Fraser
Would not the Minister have been wise, before he took sweets off the ration, to have enlarged the ration to see how big the sweet tooth of the nation really was?

§ Mr. Strachey
The ration was increased before de-rationing took place.
