§ Sir I. Fraserasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will give to roadmen the same extra rations as are given to agricultural workers and quarrymen, in view of their outdoor work, more particularly in the winter months?
§ Mr. MabaneRoadmen employed by county and rural district councils are, on production of certificates signed by or on behalf of their employers, granted the same special cheese ration which is allowed to agricultural workers and to quarrymen. Roadmen employed in urban areas normally have access to catering facilities, including British Restaurants, and are, therefore, not eligible for the grant of the special cheese ration.
