asked the Minister of Food the calorie value of the meat ration issued to civilians, prisoners of war and the Armed Forces, respectively, in this country; and how it compares with this time last year.

Mr. Strachey

The approximate daily calorie value of the meat ration is 160 for civilians, 150 for prisoners of war and 340 for the Armed Forces at the present time. In January, 1946, the figures were about 150, 150 and 380 respectively.
