HC Deb 18 October 1950 vol 478 c250W
69. Mr. Morley

asked the Minister of Food when the sugar ration will be increased.

Mr. Webb

The effect of the Korean crisis on world sugar markets has been virtually to exhaust supplies of sugar from sterling and dollar sources alike. I am buying all available supplies from the Commonwealth and home sources but for the time being I can hold out no prospect of increasing the ration.
