HC Deb 12 May 1948 vol 450 c220W
47. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Food if, in view of the certainty of supplies under Marshall Aid, he will now permit bread to be served with meals in hotels, clubs and restaurants without it being counted as a main meal.

Dr. Summerskill

My right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot agree to do this at present.

48. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Food when he proposes to abolish bread-rationing; and if he will make a statement on bread supplies for the next six months.

Dr. Summerskill

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Evesham (Mr. De la Bère) on 10th May, 1948.
