§ Mr. Sharpasked the Minister of Food whether supplies of cheese during November were adequate to honour the ration; whether he is aware that during the third and fourth weeks of November many Mirfield people were unable to get the supplies to which they were entitled; 145W whether retailers and consumers will receive these entitlements at a later date; and what action he will take to ensure better distribution.
§ Mr. StracheyThe supplies of cheese issued during November were sufficient to meet the ration and I am not aware of any shortage in any area during that month. No complaints of shortages in Mirfield were received by the local officers of my Department but if my hon. Friend will give me details of the complaints made to him I shall be glad to have further inquiries made and let him know the result.
