asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what arrangements he proposes to make regarding the rationing of visitors to summer resorts?

The needs of such visitors can be adequately provided for under the rationing scheme. Special arrangements to facilitate smooth working have already been made and I am sending the hon. and learned Member a copy of our notice giving details.

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that a number of Members in this House will be away at the week-end, and what are we to do about our ration books?

I rather imagine that every Member of this House who requires it, already has a traveller's ration book.
