§ Mr. Royleasked the Minister of Food the total weekly amount of extra manufacturing meat which is being allocated to meat manufacturers in the areas of prewar heavy unemployment and in the mining areas under the scheme which was introduced on 30th March, 1947.
§ Mr. StracheyThe additional allocation of extra manufacturing meat to the areas of heavy prewar unemployment and low earnings was about £14,000 per week. Since then, however, there has been a 20 per cent. nationwide cut in all manufacturing meat allocations, which has had the effect of reducing the net increase to these areas to some £11,500 per week This represents about 103 tons weekly.
