HC Deb 13 June 1950 vol 476 c19
41. Mr. A. R. W. Low

asked the Secretary of State for War what additions and adjustments have been made to Army rations during the past six months; and what further changes he has in mind.

Mr. Strachey

No adjustments have been made to Army rations during the past six months. Improvements in the home service ration scales are under consideration.

Mr. Low

Are these improvements under consideration because of changes in the civilian ration and, if that is so, should not the right hon. Gentleman's Department see that there are no improvements in the civilian ration which are not immediately followed by improvements in the home service ration scales?

Mr. Strachey

Yes, in principle I agree, and the home service ration scales are under consideration to bring them into line with the improved food situation.
