Mr. Donald Scottasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether having regard to the lack of proper facilities and suitable premises in many rural areas, he will consider some modification of the Co-operative Fruit Preservation Scheme for 1941, whereby jams may be made in the producer's own 1012W home, and the resulting preserve, surplus to the Household ration, requisitioned by his Department at a fair price?
Major Lloyd GeorgeMy hon. Friend does not consider that the requisitioning of small quantities of home-made jam from private houses would be practicable, and he is satisfied that the difficulty of obtaining suitable premises and facilities in rural areas can be effectively overcome.
