HC Deb 08 March 1951 vol 485 c94W
Mr. Redmayne

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he has taken to ensure supplies of wrapping paper for food traders.

Mr. H. Wilson

I have asked the paper industry to ensure supplies of wrappings where these are essential for protection or transport of foodstuffs, and, in particular, for the pre-packing of rationed foods. But, while the present shortage lasts, it may not be possible to supply all the shop wrappings which we should normally like to see used.
