HC Deb 03 July 1950 vol 477 cc21-2
36. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Food whether unrationed tinned hams can be made available immediately to the public?

Mr. F. Willey

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to my hon. Friend the Member for Battersea, South (Mrs. Ganley) on 19th June.

Mr. De la Bère

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that that reply did not carry us very far? Could we not have ham derationed and let the public have the full benefit of what is available? What is the cause of this restriction?

Mr. Willey

As the House will know, some quantities of ham are now available.
