HC Deb 23 May 1949 vol 465 cc860-1
6. Colonel Ropner

asked the Minister of Food whether it is proposed to increase or decrease the amount of the meat ration during the remainder of 1949.

Mr. Strachey

I never speculate on the future level of rations. But on this occasion it may be appropriate to say that at present no factors in the situation are apparent which would compel us to decrease the ration during the remainder of 1949.
