HC Deb 20 June 1940 vol 362 cc260-1W
Mr. Joel

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food to what extent he is encouraging the provision of communal meals at factories and other places where large numbers of persons are employed, in view of the waste that can be avoided by such schemes?

Mr. Boothby

My Noble Friend welcomes the provision of communal meals at factories and other places where there are a large number of persons employed as a means of securing that the best and most economical use of available foodstuffs is made, and he has taken steps to facilitate the allocation of supplies for this purpose.
