HC Deb 30 April 1947 vol 436 c231W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Food the amount of rationed goods per head consumed in canteens; and how do these figures compare with the amount of rationed goods per head issued to the housewife.

Mr. Strachey

We do not know the amount of rationed goods consumed per head in canteens since these foods are allocated on the basis of the number and type of meals served, and not on the number of people who use the canteen.
