§ 99. Mr. Rentonasked the Minister of Food why all the permits for supplying meat to displaced persons' camps in Huntingdonshire have been granted to Dewhurst, Limited, which is not a local business; whether he is aware that the members of the Huntingdon retail butchers buying committee are willing to supply meat to those camps on reasonable terms; and whether he is prepared to consider a scheme whereby the local butchers could share in the distribution of meat.
§ Mr. StracheyThese camps, like other catering establishments, may nominate any butcher they wish as their supplier. Two of the three camps in Huntingdonshire are supplied by local branches of Dewhursts and a third by a local butcher.
