§ 58. Mr. Brookeasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will consider granting an extra cheese ration to shift process workers in gasworks who, like miners and agricultural workers, must take their food with them because they cannot leave their job during a shift to go home or to a canteen?
§ Mr. MabaneNo, Sir. No suggestions have been received from the representatives of these workers for this special provision, and I am advised that it is not correct to say that these workers cannot leave their work during a shift to take a meal, and that indeed it is the customary practice to do so.
