HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 c209W
68. Mrs. Mann

asked the Minister of Food if he has considered the possibility of making available extra supplies of butter, outwith the ration, as on the same lines as gruyere, blue-vein and cream cheese.

Mr. Webb

There is no sign that the present butter ration satisfies the demand and I do not think it would be fair to let some people have extra butter. The cheeses my hon. Friend mentions are of a kind which would not be acceptable to everyone on the ration and that is why it was decided to allow them to he sold as additions to the ration.

Forward to
