HC Deb 04 December 1974 vol 882 cc478-9W
Mr. Corbett

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether he is satisfied that wholesalers have sufficient supplies of sugar to guarantee that normal demands from retailers can be met before, during and after the Christmas period;

(2) whether he is satisfied that consumers will be able to purchase sufficient supplies of sugar before, during and after the Christmas period.

Mr. Strong

We expect total supplies of sugar in retail packets in December to be broadly equivalent to the quantities available in December 1973.
