§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether the promise of a supply of sugar to enable housewives to make stone fruit jam is related to the fact that the supply of stone fruit promises to be generally poor, and in some cases non-existent; and whether domestic fruit growers who have no stone fruit will still receive some sugar allowance to make jam from other fruits in respect of which they are better favoured?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe increase in the domestic sugar ration to sixteen ounces per week started on 30th June and will continue for four weeks, so that housewives will have an opportunity of using the sugar for making jam from any fruits, soft, stone or wild, of which they may obtain supplies.
