HC Deb 15 December 1936 vol 318 cc2296-7W
Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that lads at the depôts in letters to their homes express the view that they are not getting enough food; and whether he will consider issuing an extra quarter ration to recruits during their period of training at the depôts?

Mr. COOPER

I appreciate the special needs of recruits during their early training. Proposals are now under consideration which will, I hope, meet the situation.
