§ 78. Mr. Lewisasked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the concern felt by persons over 70 years of age who have been informed that when the tea ration 140W is increased by 2 oz. next month they will not maintain their additional 2 oz.; and whether he will take steps to rectify this anomaly.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeNo. The tea ration for persons over 70 years of age is being maintained at 3 oz. per week, which means that these persons will get an additional allowance of 2 oz. per four weeks when the ordinary ration is increased to 2½ oz. per week.
