§ 12. Sir ROBERT NEWMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether steps can be taken by which rations could be drawn from a civilian source on the same scale as Army rations, issued in kind, by officers and men of His Majesty's Forces who are not drawing rations in kind by virtue of their being so stationed as to-be unable to draw rations in kind on account of distance from places of issue, etc., or placed on family allowance in the case of warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, or who are unable to consume rations in kind for dietary reasons supported by a medical certificate?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have consulted my right hon. Friend the Food Controller, and he agrees with me that my hon. Friend's suggestion is impracticable.
