HC Deb 12 June 1967 vol 748 c20W
Mr. Astor

asked the Minister of Health what arrangements he proposes to make in order to safeguard the interests of diabetic patients and invalids requiring a special diet including a high proportion of food items of which the cost is likely to be significantly increased if Great Britain joins the European Economic Community.

Mr. Snow

No special action appears likely to be required since there are already arrangements made by my Department, by the Supplementary Benefits Commission of the Ministry of Social Security and by local health and welfare authorities to help where necessary invalids and people who may need special nourishment.
