HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 cc129-30W
63. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that a road-man, Mr. R. Williams of 20 Cistern Street. Totnes, has been refused a supply of special cheese on the grounds that only a roadman employed by a county or rural district council qualifies for special cheese and that as a borough roadman Mr Williams is disqualified; whether he is aware that, in view of his disablement, Mr. Williams is unable to ride or bicycle the requisite two miles from his work into town for a mid-day meal; and whether in these special circumstances authority can be given for him to receive special cheese

Dr. Summerskill

I am looking into this case and will write to the hon. Member iii a day or two.
