HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 c201W
72. Sir P. Macdonald

asked the Minister of Food, whether he will reconsider his decision to restrict the quantity of flour delivered to trade users for the period 27th April to 7th June to 95 per cent. of their weekly average deliveries during the eight weeks ended 29th March, 1947, in the case of users in popular holiday resorts, having regard to the fact that during the period of restriction the population of such holiday resorts will be greatly increased by an influx of visitors and the restriction will be based on a period during which the average weekly deliveries will have been low.

Mr. Strachey

I can assure the hon. Member that arrangements will be made, where necessary, to maintain essential food supplies at holiday resorts.
