HOUSE OF COMMONS (REFRESHMENT DEPARTMENT).

HC Deb 29 April 1929 vol 227 c1292

36. Mr. SAKLATVALA

asked the right hon. Member for the Wells Division, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, if the Kitchen Committee have decided to reduce the price of teas served to the Members of this House; if so, by how much per cup; and, if not, who will benefit by the remission of the tax on tea?

Sir ROBERT SANDERS

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. SAKLATVALA

Are we to understand that the effort of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to catch these votes has failed?

Sir R. SANDERS

I do not think that question should be addressed to me.

Mr. SAKLATVALA

The answer of the hon. Baronet is inaudible.

Mr. SPEAKER

The answer, I under stood, was that the question should be postponed. Is not that so?

HON. MEMBERS

No.
