HC Deb 02 May 1918 vol 105 cc1704-5
56. Sir C. HENRY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he can now state what steps are proposed to be taken to put restrictions upon the free distribution of food to soldiers at railway stations and other centres?

Mr. CLYNES

It is proposed to issue an Order compelling free buffets and similar feeding centres to obtain licences from the Food Controller, who will there upon impose such restrictions as will prevent any abuse of this most desirable form of hospitality.
