§ Mr. Garry Allighanasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that in many cases canteens are not provided for building workers where groups of contractors are working on a housing estate, as only one contractor may accept the responsibility; and whether he will offset this omission by allowing every building operative, working in such conditions, an extra individual ration of tea, sugar and cheese.
§ Mr. StracheyAll or any of the contractors on a housing estate may set up a canteen, and I regret that I cannot allow any extra rations for individual workers. If my hon. Friend can provide me with specific instances, I will make further inquiries.
