§ 61. Mr. AGG-GARDNERasked the Secretary of State for War if he would be disposed to consider the advisability of appointing to the War Office Canteen Committee some representative of the private traders, in view of the representation on the Committee of more than one member of the co-operative trade movement?
54. Major WHITEasked the Secretary of State for War if he will consider the advisability of adding to the Canteens Committee two private traders, representative of that class of smaller private traders who are largely interested in the supply of canteens?
§ 56. Mr. SAMUEL SAMUELasked the Secretary of State for War if he will take steps necessary to have the private retail traders represented on the War Office Committee on Army Canteens, seeing that only co-operative societies and large trading companies are at present represented, whose interests are opposed to the small private trader?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am giving the matter further consideration.
§ Mr. CASSELWill the right hon. Gentleman take into account the fact that this is felt as a very serious grievance by the small retail traders throughout the country?
