§ 89. Mr. Doddsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what provision is made by his Department for Service personnel who prefer a vegetarian diet.
Mr. WardIt has not been found necessary to make any formal arrangements for vegetarians as there are so few of them in the Fleet. Under the two systems of victualling in the Royal Navy, the men either provide themselves with food out of a money allowance—this applies usually in small vessels—or are provided with meals, commanding officers having discretion to vary the diet for vegetarians.
