HC Deb 20 February 1946 vol 419 c236W
Mr. Mack

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the inadequate supply and distribution of food in North Staffordshire, especially fruit and vegetables; and will he take steps to see that a reasonable and fair allocation of essential foodstuffs is allocated to this area.

Sir B. Smith

I am not aware that the supplies of foodstuffs in general or of fruit and vegetables in particular are any less adequate in North Staffordshire than in other districts of the country, nor have I had any complaints which would lead me to believe that distribution in that area is faulty.
