§ Captain ELLIOTasked the Undersecretary of State to the Air Ministry whether an official from the Air Ministry made up an emergency ration of 3,000 calories to last for forty-eight hours for Mr. Hawker; whether he is aware that this is inadequate even for one day; and whether he will ensure that more accurate information is supplied to any others consulting his Ministry?
§ Mr. PRATTNo official at the Air Ministry made up any emergency ration for Mr. Hawker, but detailed suggestions were made as to the amount of suitable food necessary for the flight. The suggested rations per man were equivalent to a heat value of 12,557 calories. The second and third parts of the question therefore do not arise.
