HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c198W
Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Food if he will consider modifying the present restrictions on persons desirous of opening butchery businesses, so that the premises from which the business is conducted may, if no other accommodation is available, be situated outside the area it is desired to serve.

Mr. Strachey

No such specific restriction is imposed, but a licence would not normally be granted to an applicant whose premises were so remote from his potential customers that the business would not meet a consumer need.
