37. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the predicted glut in the world supplies of sugar, the Government can give an assurance that they will de-ration sugar before the end of 1950.
§ Mr. F. WilleyI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to the hon. and gallant Member for Wembley, North (Wing-Commander Bullus) and the hon. Member for Devizes (Mr. Hollis) on 19th June.
Mr. De la BèreHow comes it that with an abundant supply of sugar in the world we cannot have sugar in this country—not more than one miserable pound? Let us have more sugar and get rid of Socialism.
