§ Mr. MabaneThe principal manufacturers of infant foods have requested retailers, who are mainly chemists, to give priority of supply in all cases to the needs of infants. So far as I am aware there is no difficulty in buying such foods when they are required for infants. If, however, my hon. Friend has any information on this point, I should be glad to receive particulars.
