§ 61. Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the cuts in the Services' rations, increased food supplies will be made available to N.A.A.F.I. for distribution to Service canteens.
§ Mr. StracheyThere will be no change in the food supplies made available to N.A.A.F.I. for distribution to Services canteens, but the recent increase in the ration cash allowance will mean that N.A.A.F.I. will be able to purchase larger quantities of available foods for supply to Service messes. As stated by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Defence in the House on 4th February, supplementary allowances of food will be made to troops engaged on specially strenuous duties.
