HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c115W
Mr. Nutting

asked the Minister of Food whether he will allocate a supplementary soap ration to coal merchants and their employees in the same way as is done in the case of miners.

Mr. Strachey

Extra soap is already granted to those employers of coal distributive workers who provide washing facilities, and I regret that supplies do not permit of any increase in this allowance or of its extension to individual workers.
