Mr. Rostron Duckworthasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether any preference in manufacture is given to cocoa over chocolate, or whether there are enough ingredients for both?
Major Lloyd GeorgeCocoa powder and chocolate are to some extent joint products. Since the outbreak of war there have been sufficient supplies available of raw cocoa and the production of cocoa powder has been increased to meet an additional demand. On the other hand, chocolate production has been restricted owing to the reduced allocation of sugar for manufacturing purposes.
