HC Deb 15 May 1950 vol 475 c838
25. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Food what information he has on the variety of cheeses available in the Shrewsbury area.

The Minister of Food (Mr. Maurice Webb)

I believe that most of the ration in Shrewsbury consists of home produced Cheshire cheese and the rest mainly of New Zealand cheddar with small quantities of processed cheese and Canadian Cheshire. There is, of course, a wide selection of unrationed cheeses. The variety of these is so wide I cannot possibly list them.

Mr. Langford-Holt

Can the right hon. Gentleman give me some indication why the choice of rationed cheeses is so much less in Shrewsbury than in London?

Mr. Webb

My impression was to the contrary, and when I looked at the answer I began to worry about complaints from other parts of the country, including London.
