asked the Minister of Food if there is a comparable reduction in the quantity of bacon issued to N.A.A.F.I. when the ration of the civil population is reduced.

Reductions in Services' rations are not made automatically when civilian rations are reduced, although they are reviewed from time to time in consultation with the Services Departments. Issues to N.A.A.F.I. for canteens and catering and for sale to registered customers at N.A.A.F.I. shops have been reduced in proportion to the reduction in civilian rations.
