§ Lieutenant-Colonel Acland-Troyteasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether he is aware that a special marmalade made for diabetics requires glycerine; and whether he will authorise the supply of glycerine for this purpose on the condition that the marmalade is supplied to diabetics only?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI have been asked to reply. I am advised that a supply of marmalade or other preserves containing glycerine in place of sugar is not necessary for diabetics and that it is of no advantage to the diabetic to eat preserves specially prepared with glycerine.
