§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why, when so much sugar is made available for iced cakes and sweets, 396W which are of doubtful food value, it is refused to housewives who, having no garden of their own, regularly purchase fruit for home jam-making, which is generally regarded as a valuable food product; and will he reconsider his decision in this matter?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydA substantial reduction has already been made in the sugar supplies to manufacturers of cakes and confectionery. As regards the provision of sugar for domestic jam-making, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 23rd April to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Ayr Burghs (Sir T. Moore).
