HC Deb 18 November 1912 vol 44 cc4-5
4. Mr. HILLS

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the restaurant understood to have been opened for the use of the staff of the National Health Insurance Commission in London is furnished with leadless-glaze crockery; and whether, in any similar restaurants or refreshment rooms to be established else where in connection with the Commission, provision will be made that such ware only shall be used, following the example of the Government Departments and the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on the Pottery Trade?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Masterman)

The original purchase of crockery for the restaurant in question comprised some non-leadless glaze. Leadless glaze will be purchased in future.
