HC Deb 22 October 1941 vol 374 c1804W
Mr. MacLaren

asked the Prime Minister whether, from the data in possession of its various Departments the Government will ascertain and publish what is necessary in food, housing accommodation, clothing and other essentials to maintain a person, whether pensioner or dependant, in a good state of health and comfort?

The Prime Minister

I am afraid that what constitutes a good state of health and comfort is so much a matter of opinion that no good purpose would be served by such a publication as the hon. Member proposes.
