HC Deb 22 October 1940 vol 365 cc941-2W
Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the Minister of Health whether he has given the local authorities in reception areas power to provide a hot meal for evacuees on arrival in the reception areas; and whether a standard of treatment has been laid down by his Department?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Yes, Sir. No specific standards have, however, been laid down, in view of the wide variety in the facilities available at or near detraining stations, the number of evacuees arriving at any one time, and other factors.
