HC Deb 06 May 1952 vol 500 c23W
Mr. F. Willey

asked the Minister of Food for an estimate of the amount of food subsidy which would be saved, giving the figures separately, by increasing by ld. the price per pound of bacon, meat, butter, cheese, cooking fats, margarine, tea, and a quart of milk and by increasing the price of a dozen eggs by 6d.

Major Lloyd George

I am not prepared to give estimates which would facilitate speculation about future ration levels.
