HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 c131W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give for all district councils in Scotland the total allocated number of packets of(a) standard food ration documents, (b) temporary food ration documents and (c) registration documents.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Standard food ration and registration documents are held by my Department for issue to district councils in Scotland on the basis of one per head of their population, plus a small additional percentage for contingencies. Temporary food ration documents have been allocated sufficient to cover 10 per cent. of the population. Allocations will be reviewed from time to time and varied as necessary.
