A file of memoranda concerning the work of the Food Policy Committee. Subjects covered in the papers include the changing status of food supplies, livestock numbers, and agriculture, from April to December 1941. These include both home-produced and imported goods such as cereals, sugar, fats, meat, dairy produce, and animal feed. Further documents discuss the pre-war position of agriculture; the onion and carrot crop; the control of beer and whisky production; the culling of cattle; and the use of fertilisers. The file also covers the position of small poultry-owners and the enforced sale of eggs to the government; plans to encourage the breeding of domestic rabbits for use as meat; protein and vitamin requirements to prevent malnutrition; and moves to improve the national diet through wheatmeal bread. Further memoranda cover the cropping programme for 1942; and an assessment of imports and home supplies of food and meat up until the third year of the war.
