§ 17. Mr. Sutcliffeasked the Minister of Food on what system additional rationed foodstuffs are made available during the season at holiday resorts.
§ Mr. WebbThese extra supplies are based on the nearest corresponding period of the previous year. We issue supplementary permits to meet any current needs which arise.
§ Mr. SutcliffeIs the Minister aware that it was possible to buy half-a-dozen tins of salmon, and what was described as any amount of ham and tongue, at a shop in Torquay in August? Will he bear in mind there is much dissatisfaction in the north-west because there are not enough of these commodities to go round? Will he review the position?
§ Mr. WebbIt is the hon. Gentleman's duty to give me evidence of that transaction in Torquay so that the necessary legal action can be taken.
