HC Deb 31 July 1941 vol 373 c1541W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the estimated daily basic ration of tobacco which governs the supply of this article to the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes for the troops serving at home?

Captain Margesson

There is no daily basic ration of tobacco. The actual amount allocated to the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes varies from time to time according to the quantities available for the country as a whole.
