Mr. Spence
asked the Minister of Food if he will show for each main item of rationed food the percentage which is home produced.
Dr. Summerskill
As the answer contains a number of figures, I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Following is the answer:
The percentage of the total supply of each main item of rationed food which was provided from home production in the year to the end of June, 1947, is as follows:
| Liquid milk | 100 |
| Eggs in shell | 76 |
| Carcase meat | 44 |
| Canned corned meat | Nil |
| Bacon and ham | 36 |
| Cheese | 12 |
| Butter | 7 |
| Margarine, lard and compound cooking fat, less than | 1 |
| Sugar | 27 |
