§ Mr. Denvilleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the scientific findings as to the energy-producing properties of sugar, and the demands for confectionery among munition workers of both sexes, he will increase and maintain the supply of confectionery to canteens, and, in particular, to retailers in munition areas?
Major Lloyd GeorgeArrangements are in operation for ensuring that priority is given to the reasonable requirements of canteens serving workers engaged on essential production. Distribution of confectionery to retail outlets is regulated by the industry, but consideration is given to movements of population and to the needs of different districts.
