§ Wing-Commander Jamesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in making arrangements in respect of rationing, he will bear in mind the difficulties of rural dwellers whose distances from shops, reduced travelling facilities and occupations, ordinarily place them at a disadvantage with urban dwellers, who are able without difficulty to attend shops frequently; and whether he will consider introducing countervailing advantages in respect of 1366W local products, such as eggs and pig-meat, or of extra sugar for preserving home-grown produce?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI shall be pleased to bear in mind the points to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers but I could not agree that all the advantages are with the town dweller.
