§ 87. Mr. Toucheasked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the inconvenience experienced by residents in the borough of Reigate owing to delays in receiving attention at the local food office; if any steps are being taken to remedy this matter; and, in particular, whether he will consider opening a sub food office in Redhill for the convenience of residents in that part of the borough.
§ Dr. SummerskillMy right hon. Friend regrets that any avoidable inconvenience and delays should occur when people attend food offices and he will do all he can to ensure that they are reduced to a minimum. The question of setting up a sub office at Redhill is to be considered at once.
