HC Deb 15 July 1947 vol 440 c40W
Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Minister of Food if he will increase the additional allowance of sugar for jam-making; and if it will be possible to issue five extra allocations in the same way as last year.

Mr. J. Strachey

I have already arranged for three special issues, each of 1 lb. per ration book, of sugar for jam making this year, and in addition the domestic ration is being raised to 10 ozs. a week from 20th July. I am unable to make any statement about further special issues at the moment.
