HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 cc13-4W
96. Mr. Perkins

asked the Minister of Food whether he will now consider reducing the number of points required to buy I lb. of syrup and ½ lb. of semi-sweet biscuits, in view of the fact that they use up the whole of the month's ration of points.

Mr. F. Willey

My right hon. Friend will be considering points values in the further review he intends to make of the points rationing scheme. But I must remind the House that the amount of food which can be bought within the points rationing scheme is determined by the supplies available, and points values are only a measure of this.
