§ 87. Mr. Royleasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that the South American a/c hams, classed in category A and weighing only from 7 lbs. to II lbs. are most unsuitable to the grocer to cut for ration; and if steps will be taken to make allowances so that all consumers may obtain the bacon ration.
§ Mr. StracheyIt has been necessary to allow South American shippers to supply light weight hams so as to provide all possible bacon for the ration. But I am not aware that consumers have failed to receive their rations on that account.
