HC Deb 14 May 1947 vol 437 c157W
67. Mr. Younger

asked the Minister of Food to what extent stocks of jam have increased in recent months; and whether he will arrange for an additional distribution to be made before this season's new jam is available.

Mr. Strachey

Between September last and the end of March, British manufacturers' stocks of jam and marmalade rose by about half a week's supply. There is certainly not enough to allow an additional distribution of jam and marmalade.
