§ Mr. COCHRANEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware of the delay which occurs in the dispatch by the Food Ministry of ration papers applied for at local post offices by persons who are changing their address; and whether he will take the necessary steps to ensure that ration papers will be forwarded within the eight weeks for which sugar stamps are provided?
§ Mr. CLYNESIn ordinary cases a ration paper is being dispatched by the Ministry in time for it to be used by the holder in the week in which the sugar coupons previously issued to him are renewable. In a few instances the particulars given by the applicant have not been sufficiently complete for the Ministry to issue a ration paper or to communicate with him
