HC Deb 07 October 1942 vol 383 c1225W
Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether an adequate supply of milk will be provided for miners at the pit canteens?

Mr. Mabane

Supplies of milk are available to pithead canteens on the same basis as other canteens. This supply is adequate for serving milk with hot beverages, but in the present supply position it is not, generally speaking, practicable to allocate milk for direct consumption to canteens which have not obtained it in the past.
