§ 17. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Food if he will grant an increased alloccation of sugar, poultry and rabbits to Messrs. J. J. Hollins and Son, 8, Shaftesbury Avenue, Timperley, Altrincham, Cheshire, in view of the increase of their registered customers from 900 in 1940 to 1,600 at the present time; and whether he will grant this firm an increase of unit vouchers for dried fruit, canned meats fish and milk for the same reason.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe recent allocation of extra sugar, apart from the increase in the domestic ration, was for manufacturing purposes and not issued direct to retailers. The unit voucher system for canned meats, fruit, fish and milk is already based on registrations, and dried fruits and sugar are also allocated in this way. I am afraid it is impossible to consider the claims of individual traders to increased supplies of rabbits and poultry.
