HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c131W
29. Mr. Shurmer

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that there is dissatisfaction concerning the allocation of turkeys, recently purchased in the U.S.A., to canteens, cafes and civic restaurants; and if he will consider allocating some of these turkeys to shops so as to enable housewives to purchase them.

Mr. Strachey

Negotiations, for the purchase of the turkeys are still going on and no decision has yet been made about allocations. I will certainly take my hon Friend's view into account.
