asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has yet received the Medical Research Council's advisory committee's report on food rations in regard to the requirements of invalids and expectant mothers on special diets for supplementary rations?

The advisory committee have considered the need of invalids and expectant mothers on special diets for supplementary rations and have expressed the opinion that under present conditions only in the case of persons suffering from diabetes mellitus is any variation required. In such cases additional meat coupons can be obtained on the surrender of sugar coupons.
