SOAP RATION (INDUSTRIAL WORKERS)

HC Deb 05 June 1946 vol 423 cc326-7W

80. Mr. Grimston

asked the Minister of Food if he will consider the issue of a supplementary soap ration to workers engaged in occupations the nature of which renders the frequent washing of overalls necessary.

Mr. Strachey

I regret that with the present difficult supply position of fats I am unable to extend the existing arrangements for the supply of soap to industrial workers.
