HC Deb 14 July 1947 vol 440 c2W
23. Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Minister of Food whether a farmer's son who contracts to work for his father for a weekly wage is permitted to qualify for the extra rations of cheese and bread issued to agricultural workers.

Mr. Strachey

No. I am sorry, but I cannot extend the special cheese ration to members of a farmer's family, who can usually go home for a mid-day meal if they wish.
