§ Mr. Mainwaringasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, when rationing is introduced, he will institute a free weekly distribution of food supplies to old age pensioners or take other steps to see that these people are enabled to purchase their rations?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThe scheme for the rationing of essential foodstuffs is applicable to all members of the community alike. Provision for the contingency which the hon. Member has in mind must, I think, be found in other forms of assistance.
