Agricultural Workers

HC Deb 13 March 1950 vol 472 cc21-2W

82. Mr. Renton

asked the Minister of Food whether he will now take steps to ensure that agricultural workers are allowed as much meat and other extra rations as are received by miners and other heavy workers.

Mr. Webb

Agricultural workers receive the same individual rations as miners except for the extra meat allowance which was granted as part of the effort to stimulate the output of coal. I regret that we have not enough meat to extend this special ration to agricultural workers.
