HC Deb 14 June 1974 vol 874 c662W
Mr. Graham

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what proportion of the total expenditure so far committed to food subsidies will be received by households with incomes on and below the average household income for the latest figure available.

Mr. Maclennan

On the evidence provided by the Family Expenditure Survey it is estimated that the proportion will be almost one-half.
