HC Deb 18 January 1944 vol 396 c62W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Food whether he will institute an inquiry into the dietary of miners and other sections of the community engaged in hard physical labour, as there is evidence that a deficiency in energy-producing items of diet accounts for much of the absenteeism now impeding the production of coal and other vital war efforts.

Mr. Mabane

The nutritional requirements of every class of consumer are always under constant review by ray Department, and special attention is now being given to the needs of the types of workers to which my hon. Friend refers.
