HC Deb 05 April 1944 vol 398 c2016W
Sir H. Williams

asked the Minister of Food why, having regard to the fact that the zoning provisions of the Emergency Powers (Defence) Food and Food Transport (Jam and Marmalade Order) (S.R. & O., 1944, No. 300) are designed to reduce transport, he has exempted from its provisions the transport of jam and marmalade belonging to His Majesty's Government, N.A.A.F.I. and the British Red Cross.

Colonel Llewellin

It would be impracticable to apply zoning arrangements which are suitable for domestic trade to movements of the jam and marmalade to which my hon. Friend refers without affecting the prompt and proper provision of these foods to Service personnel.
