§ 24. Mr. Gerald Williamsasked the Minister of Food if foreign countries who are taking part in the Olympic games next year will be allowed to bring foodstuffs to this country for their competitors or if all competitors will be limited to the scale of British rations.
§ Mr. StracheyAll travellers entering this country are allowed to bring with them 25 lb. of food of which not more 14 than 5 lb. may be of any one kind. I see no reason to vary this concession for Olympic competitors.
§ Mr. WilliamsIf Olympic competitors coming from foreign countries are allowed to bring in food will not the Minister seriously consider giving our own athletes extra rations in order that they may justify themselves?
§ Mr. StracheyLike anyone else, our own athletes can go to a restaurant as often as they wish.
