HC Deb 10 April 1911 vol 24 c25
Mr. GLYN-JONES

asked by whose authority the Civil Service Supply Association, Limited, are afforded special facilities for trading at Somerset House during business hours with the officials and clerks employed at Somerset House; and what are the terms and conditions upon which the Civil Service Supply Association, Limited, are given those advantages over other private traders?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I have nothing to add to my previous reply on the 4th inst.

Mr. GLYN-JONES

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think that these officials might find it possible to do their shopping outside of business hours, and that the privilege of supplying so many customers on Government premises should not be given exclusively to one private trading concern?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I see no reason for departing from the practice already existing.
