§ 36. Mr. Lipsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange that a canteen shall be set up at every camp where troops are stationed?
§ Mr. EdenIt is our aim to set up a canteen run either by the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes or by one of the voluntary bodies wherever the numbers justify it, and to arrange for mobile canteens to visit the smaller concentrations of troops. In view of the large number of troops which has recently returned to this country and the revised distribution to meet present requirements, it will be appreciated that it has not yet been possible to provide adequate canteen facilities in all areas, but all possible steps are being taken to remedy any deficiencies.
