HC Deb 29 January 1918 vol 101 cc1438-9W
Sir WILLIAM BEALE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether persons residing within the area of the official scheme for London and the Home Counties who have hitherto been in the habit of obtaining their supplies, or part of their supplies, from their own dairies or farms outside that area, and who indicate that fact on their application for cards, will be given facilities to obtain supplemental supplies from retailers, if necessary, on proper evidence that their total supply is kept strictly within the authorised rations, or whether such indications on their applications will involve total cancellation of the cards, so far as butter or meat, as the case may be, is concerned?

Mr. CLYNES
