HC Deb 21 April 1947 vol 436 c68W
90. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that the Glasgow and district retail fleshers declare themselves unable to meet the ration from the amount of meat now allocated to them; and what he proposes to do in the matter.

Dr. Summerskill

A copy of the resolution passed by a meeting of butchers at Glasgow has been received by my right hon. Friend. As indicated in his reply to the hon. and gallant Member for West Edinburgh (Lieut.-Commander Hutchison) on 16th April, he is satisfied that the quantity of meat issued to butchers is sufficient to enable them to supply the full ration
