§ MR. F. E. SMITH (Liverpool, Walton)I beg to ask the hon. Member for Mid Derbyshire, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether he is aware that a box containing food was recently sent from the kitchen to one of the dining rooms with the inscription "Armours, E. St. Louis, Chicago, Futhurth, Kansas City. Chickens"; and will he say whether any and what portion of the food supplied to Members comes from Chicago.
§ *MR. JACOBY (Derbyshire, Mid.)In reply to the hon. Member, a box used for conveying cake, pastry, etc., from the kitchen to the Press gallery, bore the inscription of Armours, etc. I am having an inquiry made as to how this box came on the premises. No food of any kind, used in the House, comes from Chicago. The Kitchen Committee purchase food of the best quality only, which is supplied by reliable and respectable firms.
