HC Deb 19 November 1942 vol 385 c529W
Dr. Little

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, as the sugar granted to manufacturers of soft drinks will be reduced by 50 per cent. from 13th December, he will reduce the sugar granted to brewers by 50 per cent. from the same date?

Mr. Mabane

No, Sir. The soft drink industry is a large user of saccharine, and the proposed reduction in the allocation of sugar to this industry will be compensated by the supply of an equivalent additional quantity of saccharine.
