§ 37. Mr. HURDasked the Secretary of State for War if the British troops in Shanghai and Hongkong are supplied with British or foreign condensed milk, and in what quantities?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Duff Cooper)The British troops at Shanghai are being supplied with Canadian condensed milk. Requirements are approximately six tons a month. Condensed milk at Hong Kong is purchased by the troops themselves from the Navy, Army and Air Force institutes out of a cash allowance provided for the purpose. I understand that the milk is of Canadian origin.
