HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 cc122-3W
83. Mr. Wadsworth

asked the Minister of Food what is the basis of allocating rationed food to displaced persons' hostels; and how, under the present system of allocation, the amount received by each resident compares with the amount received by each civilian under the present rationing scheme.

Mr. Strachey

Hostels for displaced persons receive exactly the same allocations as those for any other hostels. Each resident receives the equivalent of the normal domestic rations and if engaged as an industrial worker, extra meat, fats, bread unit foods, potatoes, sugar and cheese, in common with similar workers taking meals in works' canteens.
