HC Deb 21 October 1941 vol 374 cc1609-10
26. Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give in detail the daily food supplied to Rudolf Hess guards?

Captain Margesson

The guards in question receive the home service ration scale. I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate full particulars of this scale in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Thorne

I take it for granted that when I see the details of the food they will show that the man in question is getting more food than thousands of the internees?

Following is the scale:
