HC Deb 12 July 1939 vol 349 cc2220-1
24. Mr. F. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will give a fortnight's normal menus for the food supplied to men of the Royal Air Force at Sealand aerodrome; and whether any complaint has been received with regard to the supply of food and its service at this Air Force station?

Sir K. Wood

I regret that copies of the menus are not available in my Depart- ment, but I have given instructions for them to be obtained and I will send them to the hon. Member when they are received. No complaints have been received in regard to the food or its service at this station.

Mr. Anderson

Is any machinery in existence for dealing with the complaints made by the men? Are inspections made without the knowledge of the officers concerned in this matter, and, if so, will the right hon. Gentleman make further inquiries, in particular with regard to the Sealand Camp?

Sir K. Wood

Machinery exists for the ventilation of complaints by airmen, through the airmen's representative on the messing committee, which meets each week, or through the orderly officer when he visits the dining-room.
