§ 75. Mr. George Wardasked the Minister of Food whether he will extend the extra cheese ration to gas works stokers.
§ Mr. StracheyNo, Sir. Gas undertakings should be well able to provide canteen and packed meals services for their workers.
§ Mr. WardIs the Minister aware that many of these gas works undertakings have no canteens, and that it is almost impossible for the wives of the workers to send their husbands out with packed lunches to sustain them in this very exacting work?
§ Mr. StracheyI think that the answer is to encourage by every means in our power the provision of canteens.
