HC Deb 21 September 1948 vol 456 c88W
Commander Noble

asked the Minister of Food why liquorice sweets are rationed while liquorice sticks are imported and can be purchased from chemists without points.

Mr. Strachey

Liquorice sweets containing sugar are regarded as sugar confectionery and are, therefore, subject to personal points rationing. Imported or home-produced liquorice sticks not containing sugar can be purchased from chemists without points.
