HC Deb 27 February 1941 vol 369 cc650-1W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he proposes to handle the supply of cheese on the lines of ensuring an increased amount to agricultural and heavy industrial workers?

Mr. Cocks

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the shortage of cheese, he will take steps to control its distribution, with a view of giving priority to miners, agricultural labourers and other heavy workers, even if this means further restricting or entirely prohibiting its supply to hotels and restaurants?

Major Lloyd George

I would refer my hon. Friends to the reply which I gave yesterday to a Question on this subject by my hon. Friend the Member for Devizes (Sir P. Hurd).
