HC Deb 03 June 1942 vol 380 c671
60. Mr. T. Smith

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is yet in a position to make a statement with regard to the soap ration to mineworkers employed at collieries where no pit-head baths exist?

63. Mr. R. J. Taylor

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food when the extra ration of soap for miners without pit-head baths will be brought into operation?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Major Lloyd George)

I hope that within the next two or three weeks such miners may be placed on the same footing in respect of soap supplies as the miners with pit-head baths.
