HC Deb 06 August 1947 vol 441 cc164-5W
Mr. Asterley Jones

asked the Minister of Food what are the reasons for the decision to reduce supplies of patent baby foods to welfare centres by one-quarter; and whether he will reconsider the matter, having regard especially to the hardship which will be caused to mothers in rural areas.

Mr. Strachey

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave the hon. Member for Barnstaple (Brigadier Peto) today.
