§ 49. Mr. William Shepherdasked the Minister of Food whether in view of the indications of an improved sugar position, he will consider making allocations of sugar to office workers for tea making.
§ Mr. StracheyI am sorry, but the supply is not good enough for this at present.
§ Mr. ShepherdIs it not a fact that the stock position is good and that the international allocation is about to be increased; why should there be this discrimination between industrial workers and office workers? Is it because the latter are unorganised and are of the "tinker's cuss" variety?
§ Mr. StracheyI am glad to say that office workers are by no means completely unorganised.
