HC Deb 09 June 1937 vol 324 c1743
20. Mr. Graham White

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the present amount of the milk ration for boys in the Navy?

Mr. Cooper

There is no fixed ration of milk for boys in the Navy as they are victualled under the general mess system and are provided with a varied dietary without fixed rations of the various items of foodstuffs. The average amount of milk issued daily to each boy is estimated to be approximately half-pint.

Colonel Gretton

Will my right hon. Friend say whether the milk is fresh or tinned?
