HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 c18W
81. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Food whether he will increase the soap ration to those employed in coal delivery.

83. Mr. Bishop

asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the improved supply of soap, he will now consider making the children's special soap ration available for children above the age of two years.

Mr. F. Willey

My right hon. Friend has the claims of such special groups as these much in mind, but would prefer to increase soap supplies for everybody. This will be done as soon as possible, but I must not lead the House to suppose that it can be done at once.
