Rationing in Britain
Rationing in Britain during World War 2: "Rationing was introduced at the beginning of 1940.
National Registration Day
On National Registration Day on 29 September 1939, every householder had to fill in a form giving details of the people who lived in their house."
Fourteen years of food rationing in Britain ended at midnight on 4 July 1954, when restrictions on the sale and purchase of meat and bacon were lifted. This happened nine years after the end of the war.
