§ Mr. Dunnasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what 801W instructions have been given to the food committees of the country when workers in factories and works apply for allocation of tea; is he aware that three-quarters of an ounce of tea per week per person is being granted and that this is not enough; and will he make a statement?
§ Mr. BoothbyFood control committees have been instructed that applications for permits for tea for consumption by workers during working hours must be made by the employer or by a responsible representative of the employer. The maximum quantity of tea allowed under this concession is 1 lb. per week for 20 persons. As far as I am aware this amount has been generally accepted as sufficient.
