§ 91. Mr. Carsonasked the Minister of Food why factory workers are allowed an allocation of tea and sugar whilst office workers are allowed one of tea only; and at what particular point the demarcation line is drawn.
§ Mr. WebbSugar is supplied for industrial workers, but not in offices or shops, on the ground that the demands on the physical energy of industrial workers are generally greater. Naturally I should like to extend the arrangement to office70W and shop workers; but unfortunately, as long as supplies are restricted, a line has to be drawn somewhere.
