HC Deb 09 September 1941 vol 374 c49W
Colonel Carver

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food why, as sugar is being distributed to schools to make wild fruit into jam, it cannot equally be distributed to families who wish to make jam of the same kind of fruit?

Major Lloyd George

As I pointed out in a reply given to my hon. and gallant Friend on 31st July, the extra 2lbs. of sugar released in that month for every domestic consumer was intended to be available for making jam from the wild fruit crops as well as from other kinds of fruit.
