HC Deb 24 November 1947 vol 444 cc242-3W
73. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Food if there will be supplies of diabetic chocolate in the shops during the winter months.

Dr. Summerskill

Diabetic chocolate will be available during the winter months in the shops which normally sell it. Owing to the scarcity of certain essential ingredients, for example, sorbitol, supplies of diabetic chocolate are limited and it is not possible to increase the present rate of distribution.
