§ 92. Mr. D. Marshallasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that fishermen's clothing gets saturated with salt and that more than the usual quantity of soap is required for laundering by the wives of fishermen; and whether he will, in consequence, make an increased allowance of soap in such cases.
§ Mr. StracheyI am afraid that with the present shortage of fats I cannot make an extra allowance of soap to individual workers except on medical grounds.
