HC Deb 12 November 1947 vol 444 c77W
69. Mr. J. S. C. Reid

asked the Minister of Food what will be the average number of calories available per head in respect of bread, potatoes, other rationed foods, and unrationed foods respectively, after the total has been reduced to below 2,700.

Dr. Summerskill

The ration entitlement of bread for the normal adult provides some 650 calories and potatoes no calories per head per day. The remaining rationed foods provide about 650 calories and points rationed foods about 190 more. As to the last part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Ashford (Mr. E. P. Smith) on 3rd November.
