HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 cc113-4W
Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Food why there is a shortage of barley water in North Lincolnshire and an over-supply in other parts of the county; and what steps he will take to correct this maldistribution.

Mr. Strachey

Some factories have ceased production of barley water as a result of a decline in demand. Retailers in North Lincolnshire who are short of supplies should communicate with the Regional Office of the Soft Drinks Industry (Wartime) Association, Nottingham, and they will be assisted in obtaining supplies.
