HC Deb 11 February 1948 vol 447 cc67-8W
62. Mr. Low

asked the Minister of Food what allocation of meat was made to N.A.A.F.I. per week per head of the strength of the Forces at home in any convenient period in 1946 and 1947; and what is the allocation planned for a similar period after 1st February in 1948.

Mr. Strachey

Up to 7th September, 1947, the allocation represented a fraction over ½d. worth of meat per head per week. After that date it was reduced to a fraction under ½d. per head per week and is still at this reduced rate.
