§ 129. Mr. Usborneasked the Secretary of State for War why members of the W.A.A.F., W.R.N.S. and A.T.S. are still given larger rations than civilian women who are often doing the same kind of work.
§ Mr. BellengerAny comparison between Service and civilian ration scales is liable to give a misleading impression. The Services have a limited ration of foods such as bread and potatoes which are unrationed for civilians. Moreover, civilians' have greater opportunities to supplement their rations by meals in restaurants and canteens and by the purchase of various unrationed foods. The Service ration scales are at present under review.
