HC Deb 19 December 1933 vol 284 cc1122-3W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the extent to which fresh herrings, bloaters, or kippers form part of the dietary of the British Army?

Mr. COOPER

Fish does not form part of the standard ration, but is purchased by units out of the messing cash allowance. Commanding officers are instructed to include fish, both fresh and dried, in the dietary as often as possible.
