§ 17. Captain Cunningham-Reidasked the Secretary of State for War whether there is a fixed ration of cigarettes per week that soldiers can receive from their canteens; and, if so, how many the ration is?
§ Captain MargessonThere is no fixed ration of cigarettes that soldiers may receive from their canteens.
§ Captain Cunningham-ReidIn view of the very meagre rations that are at present issued at most canteens, should there not be some uniformity in all canteens of the number of cigarettes that the soldiers receive?
§ Captain MargessonI think that that would be very difficult to administer, especially at this time.
