HC Deb 19 March 1918 vol 104 cc811-2
50. Mr. TURTON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what arrangements are made respecting the rations of sugar to His Majesty's judges on circuit; and whether they are placed on the same footing as commercial travellers, and immediately on arrival at an Assize town are obliged to go to the local post office to enter their names and requisitions as in the case of commercial travellers?

Mr. CLYNES

It is not proposed, in rationing sugar or any other food commodity, to make any distinction whatever.

His Majesty's judges would be among the first to approve absolute equality of treatment under existing conditions.
