§ Mr. CLOUGHasked the Secretary of State for War whether complaints have been received with regard to the rations of the Army of Occupation; and whether the butter or margarine ration has lately been suspended for four consecutive days?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI would refer my hon. Friend to the replies given to similar questions asked on the 7th, 12th, and 15th May by the hon. Members for Frome, Belper, and Exeter respectively. I understand that about the 16th May there was a shortage of margarine and butter for two or three days, owing to short deliveries from contractors and large condemnations, but I am informed that ample stocks are now available.
