HC Deb 09 February 1949 vol 461 c59W
51. Mr. Tiffany

asked the Minister of Food if, in view of the difficulties that will arise from the suggested partial de-rationing of sugar confectionery, he will give further consideration to the possibility of taking all sweets off the ration.

Dr. Summerskill

Discussions with the industry are still proceeding and cover every possibility in connection with the de-rationing of sweets. We hope to be able to make a statement very shortly.
