HC Deb 03 June 1947 vol 438 c14W
Mr. Wilkes

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that, since barley pudding mixture was put on points, sales of this commodity have been negligible, thus leaving large stocks in grocers' shops since August, 1946; and whether, in order to avoid these stocks being made useless by the development of mite, he will take this commodity off points until existing retail stocks are cleared.

Mr. Strachey

I am glad to inform my hon. Friend that as from Sunday, 25th May, all unsweetened cake and pudding mixtures, including barley pudding mixture, have been taken off points
