HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 c139W
60. Mr. Baldwin

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that grocers in agricultural districts are unable to supply points goods for farm workers' seasonal allowances, particularly in the Bromyard, Herefordshire, area; and what steps he proposes to take to meet this demand, keeping in mind the large influx of fruit and hop-picking labour which will shortly be coming into the district.

Dr. Summerskill

I know of no case where the seasonal points allowance has not been honoured. Arrangements have been made as usual to cater for the increased population in Herefordshire during the hop-picking season.
