Mr. David Adamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the urgent necessity of preventing both inflation and malnutrition, he is co-operating with the Minister of Food in devising a scheme whereby a minimum supply of essential foodstuffs shall be guaranteed to each household in the country?
§ Sir K. Wood:The Ministry of Food is giving consideration to a general scheme for improving the distribution of unrationed commodities. In the course of these considerations the Treasury among other Departments concerned has been consulted and is giving the fullest possible co-operation in trying to solve the problem.
