§ Mr. Nuttingasked the Minister of Food for what reason he has cancelled the extra allowance of cheese for ironstone quarry workers; and whether he will consider reinstituting that allowance in view of the insufficiency of the two-ozs. weekly cheese ration for workers of this kind.
§ Mr. StracheyThe special cheese ration was granted by mistake to certain ironstone quarrymen in the Melton area; when the error came to light the ration was withdrawn. I should not be justified in granting the special cheese ration to ironstone quarrymen, because the employers should be able to provide canteen of packed meals for their workers.
