§ Mr. Grovesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether there is any differentiation between the municipal manual workers of urban district councils and rural councils so far as the supplementary cheese ration is concerned?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe only differentiation occurs in the case of roadmen. The special cheese ration has been granted to roadmen employed by rural district councils as the condition!; of their work are almost identical with those of county roadmen who generally work out of reach of any form of catering facilities and require to take their midday meal with them. The roadmen employed by urban district councils are not in the same position.
