asked the Minister of Food whether he will consider making arrangements for extra food rations for persons engaged in heavy physical work like miners and tinplate workers?

I would refer to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Pontypool (Mr. Jenkins) on 24th January.

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider increased butter rations for those who are engaged in physical work?

I think that the reply which I gave to the hon. Member deals with the general position, and it would be difficult to modify it in detail.

Will the right hon. Gentleman keep this matter under constant consideration?

Certainly, Sir.
