§ 49. Sir I. Alberyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether extra seamen's rations can be allowed to the crews of tugs when on duty for not less than 24 hours?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe adoption of the suggestion in my hon. Friend's Question presents considerable practicable difficulties but the possibility of making some provision for such men is under 435 active examination. The scales of rations allowed to seamen employed in the home and coastwise trade would not be refused to the crews of tugs engaged in regular service at sea.
