HC Deb 02 March 1943 vol 387 c481W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether customers are buying up to their full permitted rations of sweets; and, if not, what becomes of the surplus?

Mr. Mabane

The latest available figures indicate that consumers in the aggregate "spend" about 90 per cent. of the personal points available to them for the purchase of chocolate and sugar confectionery. Production and distribution are so adjusted as to ensure that there is no surplus of supplies.
