78. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Food whether he will give consideration to granting extra allocations of meat, milk and fats to patients in Recovery Hospitals.

Mr. Strachey

Patients who are under treatment for specified illnesses are already entitled on production of a medical certificate, to extra allocations of certain rationed foods, according to the scales recommended by my medical advisers. Hospitals may draw allowances accordingly.

Mr. Strachey
