HC Deb 12 November 1948 vol 457 c213W
Lieut.-Commander Braithwaite

asked the Minister of Food what increased allocation of sugar will be made to the soft drinks industry consequent upon the changes announced on 1st November.

Mr. Strachey

As the soft drinks industry were not subjected to the 25 per cent. cut in sugar allocations which took effect on 4th January, 1948, for other sugar using manufacturers, I regret I cannot agree to their participating in the increases recently granted.
