§ 25. Mrs. Ganleyasked the Minister of Food whether he can promise a supply of ham in shops for home consumption at Christmas.
§ Mr. WebbSmall quantities of ration free British canned ham are already in the shops, and imported canned ham should begin to arrive shortly under arrangements which I announced last week. I expect that some will be available at Christmas.
§ Mr. ShurmerCan my right hon. Friend say why ham is going into hotels and restaurants and being sold in sandwiches in big stores, while the housewife cannot get any from the retail shops?
