Bread Rationing

48.

Mr. Sparks
asked the Minister of Food if he will make a statement about the future of the bread-rationing scheme.

The Minister of Food (Mr. Strachey)
Not until after the harvest.

Mr. Sparks
Can my right hon. Friend say at what date the harvest will be over?

Mr. Strachey
No longer being connected with the meteorological service, I cannot satisfy my hon. Friend.
