§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, since sugar is to be distributed to various women's organisations for jam making, there is any objection to these bodies delegating small supplies to individual fruit-growing families on condition that the latter subsequently submit for checking the jam they therewith make and allow its purchase, if required, at the current rate?
Major Lloyd GeorgeYes, Sir. It would not be practicable to collect all jam made in private households. I would remind my hon. Friend that it has been decided that jam and bottled fruit made at the preservation centres will not be available for retention by persons supplying fruit to the centres.
