HC Deb 13 May 1941 vol 371 cc1092-3W
Colonel Carver

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether the new regulations affecting cheese will debar the serving of this commodity at snack bars, in public-houses and similar places of refreshment; and whether he is aware that large numbers of lowly-paid workers regard this, normally, as their lunch?

Major Lloyd George

It is not practicable from the reduced supplies to make cheese available for casual meals in all classes of catering establishments. Provision has, however, been made for the issue of limited quantities of cheese to certain industrial canteens, British restaurants, air-raid shelters and Civil Defence canteens.
