HC Deb 03 October 1939 vol 351 c1850W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he can state the nature of the difficulties in the way of a more general release of glucose for manufacturing purposes; and whether he is aware that this commodity is most essential in the making of sweetstuffs, which possess the qualities of a food product and are largely consumed by men in the fighting lines?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The restrictions on the supply of glucose are due to temporary difficulties in supplying raw material, which it is hoped will be overcome in the near future.
