HC Deb 10 December 1947 vol 445 c198W
Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Food whether he will make it clear to retail greengrocers that housewives who do not take up their ration of potatoes on one week are entitled to collect a double ration on the following week.

Mr. Strachey

Retailers have already been instructed that the potato allowance for any week can be taken up in the following week if not purchased during the week for which it is available.
