HC Deb 03 December 1947 vol 445 cc388-9
66. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Food if the extra ration of cheese allowed to building workers in rural districts can be given also to those working in towns, in view of the fact that under their working regulations they have only half an hour for dinner for the six weeks before and the six weeks after Christmas, and so cannot go home for it, and that the extra cheese ration is already granted to other workers in comparable occupations.

Dr. Summerskill

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply to my hon. Friend the Member for St. Albans (Mr. Dumpleton) on 26th November.
