HC Deb 27 June 1951 vol 489 c1375
49. Major Guy Lloyd

asked the Minister of Food what percentage of the total rations to which the public is entitled has not been taken up during the first rationing period of the new ration books.

Mr. F. Willey

The rate of take up of rationed foods is estimated at 3-monthly intervals and a detailed survey is being made during the current rationing period. As soon as the results are available, which will be in August, I will send the hon. and gallant Member a copy.
