HC Deb 14 February 1940 vol 357 cc776-7W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Food whether the increase in the bacon ration was made consequent upon greater supplies being imported, or the failure of the consumer to purchase because of prohibitive prices, or both?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The bacon ration was increased because of the improved supply position after a satisfactory reserve had been accumulated.
