§ 61. Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Food if he will make a statement on extra rations for brickyard workers.
§ Mr. StracheyI am most anxious that workers in the brick and tile industry should wherever possible be provided with canteens or " packed meals service," and I am giving the employers in the industry all the help I can to achieve this object. I have also arranged with the Joint Industrial Council for the industry that they will tell me where such arrangements cannot be made. In such cases, provided there are no other eating places near to the place of work, I shall be prepared to consider favourably the grant of a special cheese ration for the workers concerned.
