§ 39. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Food how many British subjects are living in European voluntary workers camps in England and Wales, and are in receipt of the full meat ration; and how many of them are doing work that entitles European voluntary workers to this ration.
§ Dr. SummerskillNinety-two thousand, two hundred workers, of whom 51,700 are foreign, are living in industrial or agricultural camps and hostels and get the allowances of food on either the industrial "A" or "B" scales.
§ Major Legge-BourkeWill the right hon. Lady say what steps are taken to ensure that unauthorised persons do not get an extra meat ration, because there is great resentment at this in rural areas?
§ Dr. SummerskillThe only answer I can give is that we have very responsible men in charge who are there for the purpose of preventing it from happening.
§ Major Legge-BourkeIs there any check periodically?
§ Dr. SummerskillThe men are there to check it.
