HC Deb 05 November 1958 vol 594 c81W
103. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for War whether sanction has now been given to an increase of rations for Her Majesty's forces in Cyprus.

Mr. Soames

Yes. The increase is intended to relieve special difficulties of catering. It is being given to men on operations and to those who, because of the emergency, are living in temporary or overcrowded camps. The supplement now in force has increased the basic ration scale by about 14 per cent.
