HC Deb 15 November 1948 vol 458 cc6-7W
86. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Food whether, in cases where householders lose coupons as a result of burglary, local food offices have discretion to replace the current month's coupons and to remit the fee of one shilling for replacement of other coupons.

Dr. Summerskill

No person who has lost food ration coupons through burglary is denied replacement for current and future needs. Food executive officers are empowered to waive fees for the replacement of coupons in all such cases.
