HC Deb 19 October 1949 vol 468 cc33-4W
65. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Minister of Food if, in view of the restoration of peace in Indonesia, he will now abolish tea rationing.

Mr. Strachey

Unfortunately the tea industry in Indonesia has not recovered enough to enable tea rationing to be abolished. But I am hopeful that we shall now begin to receive supplies from Indonesia on a gradually increasing scale.
