§ Lieutenant W. Shepherdasked the Minister of Food why the imported fruit allocation for the village of Broomedge, near Lymm, Cheshire, is insufficient to meet the ration; and why a wet-fish licence has been refused.
§ Sir B. SmithEach local food control committee area receives an allocation of imported fruit based on its population, and the Lymm area, which includes the village of Broomedge, is no exception to this rule. To meet the convenience of consumers the supplies available to retailers in Broomedge village have recently been increased. As regards the last part of the Question, a licence to sell wet fish was issued recently to an applicant from Broomedge, and the hon. and gallant Member was informed of this by letter on 6th February.
