HC Deb 02 April 1946 vol 421 c1094
27. Mr. Henry Usborne

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the world food shortage and consequent cuts in rations, he has now decided to make some reduction in the rations of the W.A.A.F., W.R.N.S. and A.T.S.

Mr. Lawson

The scales are still under review.

Mr. Usborne

Does not the Minister agree that it is unfair for girls in uniform to have greater rations than their sisters who are doing similar jobs in a civilian capacity?

Mr. Lawson

That is a matter for decision by other Departments as well as mine.
