§ 50. Mr. Percy Wellsasked the Minister of Food if he will now make the agri- 328 cultural cheese ration available to smallholders.
§ Sir B. SmithI regret that I cannot see my way to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion. The special cheese ration is intended for categories of workers who, by the nature of their work, are unable to make use of canteens or catering establishments or get home for their midday meal and are obliged to take a packed meal with them. Smalholders, generally speaking, live near their homes.
