§ 55. Mr. Cookasked the Minister of Food if he will consider increasing the ration allowances, particularly eggs, milk, cheese and butter, to tubercular cases; and consider making more fish available to these cases.
§ Sir B. SmithTuberculous patients are allowed a priority supply of 14 pints of milk a week in addition to normal rations and allowances, and I am advised that this provision is adequate for their needs. Fish is not rationed, and the amount which may be purchased is not restricted by order.
§ Mr. CookWould the Minister tell us how he has arrived at the decision that this rationing is adequate?
§ Sir B. SmithI am advised by my experts in the medical profession.
