HC Deb 28 February 1940 vol 357 cc2069-70
65. Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Food whether he will consider making arrangements for extra food rations for persons engaged in heavy physical work like miners and tinplate workers?

Mr. Morrison

I would refer to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Pontypool (Mr. Jenkins) on 24th January.

Mr. Price

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider increased butter rations for those who are engaged in physical work?

Mr. Morrison

I think that the reply which I gave to the hon. Member deals with the general position, and it would be difficult to modify it in detail.

Mr. T. Williams

Will the right hon. Gentleman keep this matter under constant consideration?

Mr. Morrison

Certainly, Sir.
