HC Deb 06 June 1951 vol 488 c114W
60. Mr. Black

asked the Minister the Food whether he will now make a statement regarding the future of the sweets ration, and the possibility of it being brought to an end.

Mr. Webb

It is my intention to end sweets rationing as soon as supplies are sufficient to satisfy demand, and stocks are sufficient to meet the initial rush to buy. I cannot forecast when this is likely to come about. Meantime, I shall continue to increase the ration as supplies permit.
