HC Deb 01 April 1936 vol 310 cc1985-6
28. Mr. LEACH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that at least 14 county councils and 24 large municipalities have lately abandoned margarine for butter in their homes, hospitals, and public assistance institutions; that many of them already note an improvement in the health and happiness of the inmates since tinned milk and margarine were given up; that the dietary practices of the defence forces' authorities are now falling seriously behind those of the local authorities; and will he, in the interests of the Air Force, make this reform in diet?

Sir P. SASSOON

The present arrangements in regard to the supply of margarine are under review. No decision has yet been reached.

Mr. JAGGER

Shall we get it in the spring?
