HC Deb 11 February 1948 vol 447 c70W
69. Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Minister of Food whether he will consider reducing the points value for tinned ox-tongues, sausages and meat rolls, with a view to giving our people an opportunity of tasting these delicacies, which many have not had since 1939.

Mr. Strachey

Points values do not restrict supplies but limit demand to whatever supplies are available. All supplies of tinned ox-tongues, sausages, and meat roll are being cleared at the current points values. We shall, of course, down point them the moment more can be made available.
