HC Deb 20 March 1940 vol 358 cc1984-5
60. Mr. Dobbie

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of the discontent amongst railwaymen employed on double home shifts of duty owing to the difficulties experienced in regard to food rationing; and whether he has now decided what steps to take to remove the grievance?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am aware that complaints have been made, and the matter is still under consideration. I hope that a decision will be arrived at shortly.

Mr. Dobbie

Will the hon. Gentleman consider issuing extra ration books to those men, because of their inability to obtain meals at restaurants or hotels?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I think the hon. Member had better await the result of our consideration.
