§ 6. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Health if he will name the hospitals in Wales where margarine is used instead of butter for the feeding of patients; and what saving in money is involved.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI am informed that the general practice is to use a variety of fats for cooking, and a mixture of butter and margarine for consumption with bread, biscuits and so on. The saving through the use of margarine for this purpose is estimated to be upwards of £30,000 a year.
