HC Deb 02 December 1946 vol 431 cc2-3W
26. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that nurses engaged in tuberculosis hospitals are not allowed a supplementary milk allowance except when nurses are suffering from tuberculosis themselves; and if he will arrange for a supplementary allowance to be given to nurses and the domestic staffs engaged in tuberculosis hospitals.

Mr. Strachey

I am assured by my medical advisers that there are no medical grounds for granting extra milk to nursing and domestic staff in tuberculosis sanatoria.
