§ 35. Mrs. Mannasked the Minister of Food how many items of food were removed from points rationing during 1950, including the different kinds of jams, syrup, tinned fruit, tinned fish, biscuits and cereals.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeAbout 90. I am sending the hon. Member a list, but it does not include jams, as these were removed from points rationing in 1948.
§ Mrs. MannDoes the list which the right hon. and gallant Gentleman intends to send me reveal that the Labour Government took almost 90 items outside the ration book? Does not the right hon. and gallant Gentleman think that was a remarkable achievement by the Labour Government?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI would say that was one of the rather bright spots in a rather gloomy picture.
§ Captain PilkingtonWere not these 90 items removed entirely as a result of Conservative pressure?
