HC Deb 20 March 1940 vol 358 cc2013-4W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of the anxiety of small seaside resorts with regard to the difficulty that will be experienced by visitors who have to attend the local food office to obtain emergency ration cards; and what steps he proposes to take to ease matters in the case of those small seaside resorts that are some considerable distance away from the nearest local food office?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am not aware of the difficulty referred to. Consumers are able, where an emergency ration card is required for the purchase of foodstuffs when away from home, to obtain that card at their home food office before proceeding on holiday.
