§ Mr. R. GWYNNEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food 663W why soldiers in Voluntary Aid Detachment hospitals are rationed so much below those in military hospitals?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy hon. Friend is misinformed. The scale of food is the same for military patients in all hospitals. It is obvious, of course, that a fixed scale cannot be laid down, as the diet in individual cases must be varied in accordance with medical advice.
