§ 19. Sir C. CAYZERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what was the value of foreign condensed milk purchased for the Air Force units in Great Britain during 1932; and what steps are 828 being taken to ensure that, as far as possible, future supplies of such condensed milk are manufactured in this country?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe condensed milk used by the Royal Air Force at home stations is purchased locally from the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes out of the airmen's daily cash allowances. It is the general policy of that Corporation to purchase British and Empire products, and I understand that only a very small proportion of the condensed milk stocked at the Institutes is of foreign origin.
