Letter from D Noel Paton to William B Hardy Thanks Hardy for writing [about the meeting] -- will come to the next if he can. Does not see why the memo on school diet should be postponed as it is simply a supplement to an approved memo -- does not think the Food Controller will pay any attention to it anyway, as he has decided to proceed 'without scientific advice' -- thinks the position of the committee, and of Wood and Thompson is 'absurd' and 'might as well come to an end'. 13 March 1917
