§ 66. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Food whether he has now allocated a fairer proportion of unrationed food and soap to South Wales grocers; and when the new arrangements will come into operation.
§ Mr. StracheyI have given instructions which will, I believe, ensure better supplies of certain foods such as cake, meat pies and fried fish in areas, like parts of South Wales, which suffered from heavy unemployment before the war. Distribution under the points scheme is also being revised with the object of making it more responsive to present day demand.
