§ 77. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the large number of sweet coupons now unused; and if he will now take steps to bring about a gradual de-rationing of sweets.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI would like to de-ration sweets as soon as circumstances permit. But the latest returns show that 95 per cent. of coupons are being used and I must watch the effect of restrictions on imported materials used by the manufacturers, which has not yet been felt in full.
