§ 31. Mr. LEACHasked the hon. and gallant Member for Ipswich as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether he will place upon the dicing and tea tables of the House supplies of the same margarine as is used by the Defence Forces so that Members may judge its quality?
§ Sir JOHN GANZONINo, Sir, I regret that the Kitchen Committee cannot undertake to obtain samples of margarine for this purpose.
§ Mr. LEACHMay I take it that this decision on the part of the hon. Member is due to his desire to protect the health of hon. Members?
§ Sir J. GANZONIIt is because the Kitchen Committee are not desirous of importing margarine into the House for any purpose.
§ Mr. SHINWELLAre we to understand that what is good enough for members of his Majesty's forces is not good enough for Members of this House?
§ Sir J. GANZONIWe have no official knowledge that margarine is supplied to His Majesty's forces.
§ Mr. McGOVERNWill the hon. Member give us an assurance that the margarine supplied is up to the same standard as that supplied by the Labour Government?
