§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Health if he will make alternative arrangements for the changing of ration books and the registration of births and deaths in Mix-bury, Oxfordshire, as these registrations have to be undertaken at present in Bicester and there is no omnibus service between Mixbury and Bicester.
§ Mr. BevanI am advised that the number of births and deaths occurring in the188W neighbourhood of Mixbury is not sufficient to justify the establishment of a separate registration office there. As regards ration books the arrangements of the Ministry of Food enable any person who is unable to apply for the new book personally or through a friend to obtain it by post; the applicant must fill in page 4 of the present book and send the book and the identity card by registered post to the local food office.
