NOTES:

(1) MEAT. The Estimated Subsidy Saving assumes an overall average retail price increase of 3d. a lb. for imported and home produced carcase meat, Argentine chilled beef being sold at a premium of 2d. a lb. over frozen meat prices.

(2) TEA. The cost per ration book per week is based on the

normal ration. For old age pensioners over the age of 70 the increased cost per week would be about d. for each price increase of 4d. a lb.
