Sunday, April 24, 1949. But there was such a rush on sweets shops that rationing had to be reimposed -- I'm not sure until when.

WW2 rationing ended in 1954, with the end of the meat ration.
Rationing was the restriction by law of food, sweets, clothes, petrol etc so that everyone could get something to eat etc, and so that rich people did not buy up everything. Rationing carried on for seval years after the end of WWII, I remember the end of sweet rationing.
the reason is that Britain went through a massive devastation and needed time to recover that is why rationing was still going on after the war.
During the time of WW2 children ate basically the same sort of sweets as we eat now however they did not eat anywhere near as much of it as kids do today, because there was rationing. Sweet rationing ended several years after the end of WWII.
there are so many sweets in England you can never be sure how many there are.
The last item to be taken off rationing in the UK after World War II was sweets, which were finally de-rationed on February 5, 1971. Rationing had begun during the war and continued for several years after, affecting a wide range of food items and goods. The gradual removal of rationing reflected the country's post-war recovery and increasing availability of products. Sweets were particularly symbolic, representing a return to normalcy and consumer freedom.
The last item to come off rationing in the UK after World War II was sweets, which were finally fully de-rationed on February 5, 1971. Rationing in the UK began in 1940 due to wartime shortages and continued for many years even after the war ended in 1945. Other items like meat, butter, and cheese had been de-rationed earlier, but sweets remained restricted longer due to their scarcity.

In any sane society rationing is only used during a emergency.
Rationing of petrol in the UK officially ended on 26th February 1950. This decision followed the post-World War II recovery period, during which fuel rationing was implemented to manage shortages and control consumption. The end of petrol rationing marked a significant step towards normalization in the economy and the return to pre-war conditions.
