§ Mr. HUGH LAWasked the Food Controller if he is aware that vegetarians are unable in many cases to obtain supplies of nut butter from their registered retailers; and whether, in these circumstances, he will sanction a return to the previous arrangement under which vegetarians were permitted to obtain extra rations of butter and margarine in lieu of meat and lard?
§ Mr. PARKERThere has been some unavoidable delay in the distribution of nut butter to registered retailers, due partly to the fact that vegetarians failed to inform their local food committees of their requirements by the specified date.
