HC Deb 15 May 1950 vol 475 c107W
44. Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused to persons in many rural areas by the distance of the local food office; and whether he will reduce to a minimum the occasions when a personal visit to the food office is required.

Mr. Webb

All food rationing business can already be done by post. Mothers can collect welfare foods at a large number of centres in addition to the local food office, and special distribution points are set up when the new ration books are issued each year. If there is any particular problem in the knowledge of the hon. Member I should be glad to look into it.
