HC Deb 16 July 1973 vol 860 cc52-3W
Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of the refusal of Jarman's, Leinster Avenue, Knowle West, Bristol, to accept vouchers for concessionary butter from Mr. F. T. Bryant, of 63 Camberley Road, on Saturday 7th July, he will issue urgent advice to all shops selling butter that they must accept such vouchers.

Mr. Dean

The Butter Subsidy Regulations 1973 do not require retailers to accept butter tokens. The Government are grateful for the co-operation of all those retailers who are redeeming tokens and so ensuring that supplementary pensioners and other poor people benefit from the scheme.
