HC Deb 29 November 1948 vol 458 c1624
40. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Food why men, rather than women, have been appointed as members of the catering trade working party which is to make recommendations to secure the observance of sanitary and cleaning conditions in the catering trade.

Mr. Strachey

I have appointed, without regard to sex, people who have been suggested to me as being officially concerned with food hygiene and having experience of various branches of the catering trade.

Mr. Janner

Why are there no women on this working party? Is it that my right hon. Friend is influenced by the fact that men are now better at washing dishes?

Mr. Strachey

We have dealt with this matter irrespective of sex.
