§ Mr. H. MorrisonThe weekly rations to persons detained in London prisons are the same as those supplied to convicted prisoners, and are as follow:
Ozs. Meat … … 16 Jam, syrup or treacle … … 2 Sugar … … 8 Margarine and Lard … … 8 Cheese … … 3 The rations supplied in the Isle of Man are substantially the same; in either case, detainees receive approximately the same amounts of rationed foodstuffs as ordinary civilians. Detainees, whether in prison or the Isle of Man, have opportunities of supplementing official rations not available to convicted persons.
§ Captain Ramsayasked the Home Secretary in what categories there has been any reduction, since 1942 in the rations supplied for persons detained under Regulation 18B?
§ Mr. MorrisonThe only changes since 1942 have been the reduction of the bread ration by 2 ozs. a day, in lieu of which 4 ozs. of potatoes are given, and in prisons the substitution of 2 ozs. of lard for 2 ozs. of the margarine ration.
