HC Deb 05 May 1947 vol 437 c2W
41. Mrs. Mann

asked the Minister of Food why his recent scheme to free unstoned dates from points is not being extended to Scotland.

Dr. Summerskill

A supplementary allocation of unstoned dates free of points was made on 30th March. Scottish distributors were offered the choice of taking these dates or of taking stoned Iraqi dates packed in boxes ex Scottish warehouses and they decided for the latter.
