§ 71. Mr. FELLasked if a revised scale of rations for the workhouses of the country has been sanctioned to bring them within the scale laid down by the Food Controller; and if the amount of 8 lbs. of bread per week is still allowed for each inmate, compared with the 4 lbs. allowed to other persons?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERMy Noble Friend is in communication with the Food Controller with regard to workhouse dietaries, and revised instructions will be issued at an early date.
§ Mr. FELLAs a great amount of interest is taken in this question by a large number of people, I hope that there will be no delay.
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERWe are awaiting the decision of the Food Controller, who unfortunately is ill.
