HC Deb 16 February 1948 vol 447 c153W
90. Squadron-Leader Kinghorn

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that under the potato rationing scheme the chip friers of Great Yarmouth have sustained a cut of 70 per cent. in their supplies of potatoes; and if he will at least increase their ration so that they will receive the same treatment as the processors of potato crisps, whose supplies now show only a cut of 40 per cent. of their former supplies.

Mr. Strachey

The cut in potato supplies to fish and chip friers is estimated to be 40 per cent. and their fat supplies have not been cut, whereas crisp manufacturers have had both potato and fat supplies cut by one half.
