§ 67. Major Beamishasked the Minister of Food what are the administrative reasons why the fence erectors employed 197W by Gerald Gilmer, Ltd., in Lewes, concerning which he has been given details, and other men similarly employed all day at considerable distances from their homes, cannot be given an extra cheese ration similar to that allowed to agricultural workers and certain classes of building trades workers; and whether he is aware that this decision has caused considerable local resentment.
§ Dr. SummerskillThese people do not come within a well definied category of workers continuously employed full-time under conditions which necessitate their taking a packed meal with them to their work, and I regret that my right hon. Friend is unable to allow them extra cheese.
