§ 81. Mr. Asterley Jonesasked the Minister of Food whether he will now grant a licence to L. A. M. (Foods), Ltd., of Letchworth, Herts, to obtain cartons for packing dehydrated soups and other products on the grounds contained in a letter sent to him by the hon. Member for Hitchin on 19th June.
§ Dr. SummerskillBecause of the limited supplies of carton board available to the food industries, and the fact that we cannot give dehydrated soup a high priority, it has been impracticable so far to grant this application. Neither the sale of equipment nor the grant of a manufacturing licence carries the promise of an allocation of packaging materials.
