HC Deb 27 January 1943 vol 386 cc505-6W
Mr. W. Edwards

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that expectant mothers are frequently unable to obtain eggs for long periods; and, in view of the importance of the health of such persons, will he consider the provision of special shops, wherever practicable, to ensure the proper supply of food to such priority individuals?

Mr. Mabane

As regards the first part of the Question I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for West Leyton (Mr. Sorensen) on 2nd December last. As regards the second part of the Question such provision as he suggests would in no case be practicable.
