HC Deb 21 August 1940 vol 364 cc1319-20W
Mr. Cocks

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether arrangements can be made to enable munition workers working seven days, or seven nights, a week to obtain an extra tea ration?

Mr. Boothby

Many munition workers obtain tea from canteens, but where no canteen is available arrangements have already been made for the issue of permits for workers to obtain tea for consumption during their working hours. If my hon. Friend is aware of any cases where the existing arrangements are not being put into operation I shall be glad if he would send me particulars.
