1951 I think you will find all rationing was abandoned.


From
http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/books/bookfaq12.htm

Clothes were de-rationed in March 1949; bread in July 1948 (this was only
rationed on the 21 July 1946); jam in December 1948; petrol in May 1950;
tea
in October 1952; sweets in February 1953; eggs in March 1953; cream in
April
1953; sugar in September 1953; butter, cheese, margarine and cooking fats
in
May 1954; and finally meat in June 1954.

Most rationing, about 90% plus was gone by 1951.
