HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c1824
33. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Food what arrangements are made in wakes towns to supply food to the people who cannot afford to go away on holidays.

Mr. Strachey

Supplies will be available for any extra meals which catering establishments may serve.

Mr. Hardy

Is the Minister aware that many people in these great towns have to purchase sufficient milk on Monday to last for the remainder of the week because the shops are not open? Is he aware that that applies also to bread?

Mr. Strachey

Every year we make what special arrangements we can to meet this situation.

Mr. Mitchison

What happens to the cows during the wakes?
