§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is a canteen at the War Office; whether, if so, spirituous liquors are sold there; what are the conditions under which the establishment is carried on; and how the profits are distributed?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR DEPARTMENT (Mr. BRODRICK) (Surrey, Guildford)(who replied) said: There is no regular canteen at the War Office; but the members of the Office have formed among themselves a Co-operative Society fur the provision of luncheons, and among their arrangements is a luncheon bar, at which, among other things, liquors are sold. There are not intended to be any profits, 1690 and any which incidentally arise are applied in reduction of prices.
