HC Deb 26 May 1944 vol 400 c1065W
Mr. Woods

asked the Minister of Food whether he will consider using the year 1943 as the datum period on which to base allocations of fish supplies, having in mind the movement of population and changes in demand.

Colonel Llewellin

The allocation to zones and sub-zones is made on a population basis, the latest adjustment having been made in October, 1943. I do not consider, therefore, that my hon. Friend's suggestion would make distribution more equitable than it is at present.
