§ 22. Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Minister of Food the reasons which have induced him to grant to people suffering from tuberculosis one ounce of bacon per week in addition to the general ration of two ounces.
§ Mr. StracheyMy medical advisers have always recommended higher calorie diets for sufferers from active tuberculosis and were anxious that the decrease in the 249W domestic bacon ration, which became necessary on 5th January, should be made good for these patients as soon as possible. This we have now found ourselves able to do.
