SLIGHT REDUCTION MADE IN BRITAIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, December 14. The meat ration from December 16 will be reduced to Is lOd, because of the decline in the quantity of homekilled meat available. The Minister of Food, Lord Woolton, referring to the reduction in the meat ration, indicated that he was taking into consideration the decline in the quantity of home-killed meat supplied by farmers, which might, make it necessary that the nation have recourse to supplies at present in cold.storage.
