§ 69. Mr. DAYasked the hon. Member for Ipswich, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether, in view of the fact that matches manufactured in foreign countries are sold in the bars of the House of Commons, he will say if his committee experience any difficulty in obtaining for sale or use matches manufactured in the United Kingdom?
§ Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLEI have been asked to reply. The hon. Member has been misinformed. Only matches of British manufacture are sold or used in the Refreshment Department of this House, and the Kitchen Committee experience no difficulty whatever in securing an adequate supply.
§ Mr. DAYWill the hon. Gentleman inquire whether the staff bar comes under the management of the Kitchen Committee, and also whether these matches which were made in Czechoslovakia are sold by their authority?
§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEIt is quite unnecessary; we have already made all the necessary inquiries.
§ Mr. DAYCan the hon. Gentleman say whether the matches supplied in the staff bar are made in Czechoslovakia or are British matches?
