HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c72W
99. Mr. Paton

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India if, in view of the shortage of food in India, he will take steps to ensure that the service of rice in the messes of white officers and other ranks in the R.A.F. in India is discontinued.

Mr. A. Henderson:

Rice is being deleted from the normal dietary of Royal Air Force officers. In the case of other ranks, rice is not normally in issue and is only issued in an emergency.
