Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food whether he is satisfied that supplies of glucose in the country will be sufficient to maintain his estimate of an increased purchase of 5 per cent. per head per week when sweets become derationed.
§ Mr. StracheyThe new level of sweets production is estimated at about 20 per cent. above the quantity required to meet the present 4 oz. weekly ration. Naturally, we satisfied ourselves beforehand that sufficient raw materials, including glucose, would be available to maintain the increase.
