HC Deb 19 June 1950 vol 476 c849
32. Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the abundant supply, he will de-ration soap.

Mr. Webb

I have nothing to add at present to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham, East (Mr. Harrison) on 14th June.

Mr. Hollis

Is the Minister aware that on that occasion he has said that he was weighing the arguments? How long does the process of weighing take?

Mr. Webb

It depends on what is being weighed. I expect, in due course, to be able to arrive at a decision.
