HC Deb 27 October 1952 vol 505 c176W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Food if he will arrange to take sweets off the ration, or to make some special allocations to properly organised and bona fide organisations catering for children's parties, especially street parties, to celebrate the Coronation of Her Majesty next June.

Major Lloyd George

I shall stop rationing as soon as I can; but in any case I have made arrangements to enable local authorities and certain other public bodies to keep up the loyal and cheerful custom of presenting sweets to children in suitable Coronation souvenirs. I am considering what else should be done.
