68. Colonel Clarkeasked the Minister of Food why a restaurant in the mid-Sussex area, the name of which has been given to him, was informed before private persons in the neighbourhood of the impending cut in the meat ration.
§ Mr. WebbI have made full inquiries, but there is no evidence that any caterer, other trader, or private person was told of the reduction in the meat ration before I announced it in the House last Friday.
§ 70. Sir I. Fraserasked the Minister of Food whether he now has any statement to make about meat supplies.
§ Mr. WebbI would refer the hon. Member to the statement I made to the House on Friday, 26th January.
