HC Deb 05 March 1918 vol 103 cc1848-9W
Colonel RAWSON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that considerably more than 1¾lb. of jam can be made out of 1 lb. of sugar; whether any person making more jam out of their allowance of 10lb. per head will be allowed to keep it; whether any sugar saved out of the ration, especially for jam making, will be counted; and whether any people making extra jam out of sugar saved from rations will be allowed to keep it without being liable to be summoned for food hoarding, or to be compelled to give it up for sale?

Mr. CLYNES

The answer to the first, second, and fourth parts of the question is in the affirmative, and to the third and last parts in the negative.
