HC Deb 15 October 1946 vol 427 cc161-2W
102. Mr. Nally

asked the Secretary of State for War when it is proposed to issue the next balance sheet and report of the N.A.A.F.I.; whether he will ensure that such balance sheet and report will be as detailed as possible; and what suggestions he has made to the N.A.A.F.I. authorities as to the most useful method of distributing its disposable profits.

Mr. Bellenger

The next balance sheet and report for the year ended 1st September, 1945, will be presented to the council of N.A.A.F.I. at a meeting which is to be held on 8th November next. The balance sheet and report will be in the usual form and will be issued by means of an Army Council Instruction in the usual manner as soon thereafter as possible. It is intended that, as in past years, available profits shall be disposed of by grants to Service benevolent and welfare funds and by meeting the cost of E.N.S.A. entertainment provided during the year in question.

103. Mr. Nally

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will make a full statement as to the future of the N.A.A.F.I.

Mr. Bellenger

It is intended that the N.A.A.F.I. shall continue to provide the canteen and other services for His Majesty's Forces which they have provided since their formation for the purpose in 1921.
