HC Deb 06 November 1947 vol 443 c256W
113. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Food whether he is prepared to increase the allocation of sugar to British manufacturers of pharmaceutical products who are resuming normal peacetime production after six years of restriction of their output to medicines and anæsthetics required for His Majesty's Forces.

Dr. Edith Summerskill

I am not aware that any British manufacturer of pharmaceutical products whose output has hitherto been restricted to medicines and anæsthetics required for His Majesty's Forces, has subsequently been refused an increase in his sugar allocation. If, however, my hon. Friend has information to the contrary and will send it to me, I will have the matter investigated.
