§ Mr. S. Marshallasked the Minister of Food at what date the increased ration of milk is to be allowed to householders; and whether he can see his way to augment the quantities previously allowed in view of the fact that canteens and factories are to have increased quantities.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe weekly allowance of milk to non-priority consumers will be increased as soon as supplies permit. When the non-priority allowance for domestic consumers was increased on 22nd December last from 2 to 2½ pints the corresponding increase in the milk allowance of non-priority catering establishments and industrial canteens was withheld. The recent increase in their allowance merely restores it to its normal relationship with the domestic allowance.
