§ 23. Mr. BURNETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what was the 1725 amount of fish purchased for consumption by the Air Force at home stations during 1932; and what was the average cost per 1b.?
§ Sir VICTOR WARRENDER (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household)I have been asked to reply. Apart from the small quantities required for hospital use, fish does not form a prescribed part of the Air Force ration at home stations, and any fish desired by units is purchased from the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes, out of the cash allowances which are made towards airmen's messing. I regret that the information for which my hon. Friend asks is not in consequence available and could only be obtained by a considerable expenditure of time and labour.
