HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c26W
78. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that there is a shortage of evaporated milk, canned puddings and canned meats in Leicester; what is the method of distributing these commodities in the Midlands; how the last distribution was made; and what steps he will take to deal with the position in the future.

Mr. Strachey

Leicester is receiving its fair share of evaporated milk, canned puddings and canned meats. The releases of all "points" foods are made on the same basis in the Midlands as in the rest of the country.
