HC Deb 25 February 1941 vol 369 c368
60. Mr. Cocks

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has considered the proposal to increase the popularity of communal feeding centres by giving them various attractive titles?

Major Lloyd George

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to a similar Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Devizes (Sir P. Hurd) on 13th February.

Mr. Cocks

Can the Parliamentary Secretary say what was the Answer on that occasion?

Major Lloyd George

The Answer was that a number of local authorities had already adopted this suggestion, and my Noble Friend would be very happy if they could all adopt it.

Mr. Cocks

Does not the hon. and gallant Gentleman understand how much more popular it would be if, instead of saying ''Meet me at the community feeding centre,"people said,"Meet me at the Woolton Head ' or the 'Gwilym Arms'"?
