§ 2. Sir H. Williamsasked the Minister of Food why the Food Rationing (Personal Points) Order, Statutory Instrument No. 789 was repealed on the day it was laid before Parliament.
§ Mr. WebbI am afraid that the hon. Member has made another mistake. This Order has not been repealed.
§ Sir H. WilliamsIs it the case that the annual Points Rationing Order was laid before Parliament on, I think, 19th May, and that on the same day, at a Press conference, the Minister announced that points would be abolished, except, I think, in respect of tea?
§ Mr. WebbThe hon. Gentleman has made another mistake. The points Rationing Order is entirely different from the Personal Points Order, which is the one referred to in this Question. Personal points refer to sweets, which are an entirely different thing.
