§ 107. Captain Duncanasked the Minister of Food why he has reduced the manufactured meat allowance to sausage makers involving a reduction of 31 per cent. at a time when meat is so short.
§ Mr. F. WilleyThe manufacturing meat allowance to the large and small specialist sausage manufacturers has not been altered. Because of the make-up of our stocks it has been necessary to supply general butchers with ration meat for their manufacturing allowance. This has been the practice throughout most of the period of control. It enables butchers to cut out their rations more easily and to use their trimmings for manufacture. As the retailer's manufacturing allowance is expressed in money value the quantity234W of meat he receives varies according to the type of meat issued. Most of the sausages are made by the large manufacturers and the pork butchers whose allocations are unchanged, and the reduction in the quantity of manufactured meats available will not therefore be very material.
