Point Values (Change)

60.

Mr. S. Shephard
asked the Minister of Food which foods on points have been up-pointed during the past six weeks.

Dr. Summerskill
The only points rationed foods which have been up-pointed during the past six weeks are the special soft cheeses which are always reduced in points value during the warmer months to prevent delays in their sale.

Mr. Shephard
Could the hon. Lady say whether there is any intention of putting tinned soup on points in the near future?

Dr. Summerskill
I am afraid I could not anticipate.
