§ 35. Colonel DAYasked the right hon. Member for Cheltenham, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, if he is aware that Empire-grown tobacco is not on sale, and is not obtainable by Members, in the smoking rooms and bars of this House; and will he state the reason for failure to supply Empire-grown tobacco in accordance with the appeal of the Prime Minister to purchase British goods?
§ Sir JAMES AGG-GARDNERIn reply to the question of the hon. and gallant Member, the appeal of the Prime Minister, which he quotes with such obvious approval, has been readily responded to by our Committee, and Empire-grown tobacco is on sale in all the appropriate quarters of the House.
§ Captain GEEIs it not a fact that it has been on sale for some considerable time?
§ Sir J. AGG-GARDNERYes.
