§ Mr. Naylorasked the Minister of Food whether in view of the strenuous nature of the work of members of the W.L.A. and the impossibility, in certain isolated districts, of obtaining a midday meal off the ration at a café or restaurant as is possible for workers more conveniently placed, he will arrange with the Ministry of Food for an increase in the food ration to W.L.A. members in cases of special hardship as determined, after individual applications, by the local food control officer.
§ Colonel LlewellinNo, Sir. Members of the Women's Land Army, like other agricultural workers, are already eligible for the special cheese ration, with which they can provide themselves with a packed mid-day meal, and for the special allowances of rationed foods that are made available through their employers to agricultural workers during periods of seasonal activity.
