§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will modify the priority groups participating in the distribution of chocolate so as to ensure a ration of a 2d. block of chocolate per week for each child under 14 years of age?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI regret I am unable to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion that the arrangement whereby priority supplies of chocolate and sugar confectionery are made available to members of H.M. Forces and to certain other organisations should be modified to ensure a ration of chocolate of the amount specified to each child under 14 years of age.
