HC Deb 22 April 1953 vol 514 c57W
Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Food if he can yet announce that port butchers will no longer be required to take a percentage of mutton in their allocations, following his discussions with the trade.

Major Lloyd George

No. The most we can do at present is to allow pork butchers to refuse mutton without thereby prejudicing the rest of their allocation.
