HC Deb 18 October 1939 vol 352 c896W
Sir W. Edge

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether in the case of dissatisfaction either with the goods supplied or with the service rendered, householders will be empowered to change the retailer with whom they have registered; and, if so, what will be the procedure to be followed?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

In the first instance each consumer will register with a retailer of his own choice in respect of each rationed food, and the general intention is that consumers shall subsequently be able to transfer their registration on good cause being shown. The procedure will be by application to the local Food Control Committee, through whom the control of local distribution, including the administration of the rationing scheme, will be exercised.
