HC Deb 15 May 1947 vol 437 c186W
92. Mr. Daggar

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of the increasing number of persons to whom olive oil has been recommended but find it impossible to obtain; and what further steps are being taken to make it available.

Dr. Summerskill

All the olive oil available is reserved for distribution through chemists, and will be until distribution can be substantially increased. The importers are trying to obtain supplies but I regret that the amount available is still very small.
