Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the shortage of milk supplies which exists in some areas to members of the public who have to maintain their aged and infirm relatives, he will endeavour to make some provision whereby those who require additional milk are enabled to obtain it on production of a medical certificate.
§ Colonel LlewellinArrangements are already in operation to enable invalids and other persons needing extra milk on medical or nutritional grounds to receive extra supplies in priority on the production of a medical certificate. Local variations in supplies of milk should not affect the position of priority consumers, since retailers are required to supply such consumers with their appropriate quantities before making supplies available to persons in the non-priority class.
