§ 13. Mr. Willsasked the Minister of Food whether he will make a special allocation of sugar to people living in country districts to enable them to preserve their home-grown fruit.
§ Mr. F. WilleyNo, Sir. We give general bonuses for jam making, but our supplies of sugar are not sufficient to allow for any special supplementary allocations of this kind.
§ Mr. WillsIs the hon. Gentleman aware that his answer will cause considerable disappointment in country districts, and will also mean a considerable waste of fruit this summer?
§ Mr. WilleyI hope that people in country districts will be better informed.
