HC Deb 29 June 1949 vol 466 c1289
51. Major Guy Lloyd

asked the Minister of Food what proportion of mothers in Scotland are taking up the free or cheap allowances of orange juice, cod liver oil and vitamin pills; and what is happening to the unwanted stocks.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Dr. Edith Summer-skill)

About 25 per cent. of the total amounts of orange juice, cod liver oil and vitamin tablets which mothers are entitled to receive for themselves or for their children are taken up. There are no unwanted stocks since supplies are closely correlated to actual demands.
