HC Deb 31 October 1949 vol 469 c4W
Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the large quantities of fruit which it will otherwise be necessary to pulp, he will grant permission for the purchase of an extra pound per head per month of sugar for the purpose of jam-making.

Mr. Strachey

No. I have already allowed 7 lb. of sugar per ration book for home jam-making this year, and as extra sugar would cost dollars we cannot afford any further releases.
