§ 37. Sir F. Fremantle(for Sir Leonard Lyle) asked the Secretary of State for War whether canteens which are being established in the vicinity of camps serve meals to soldiers in competition with the rations supplied for the same soldiers in camp; and whether he will investigate these methods to prevent waste of rations and to ensure that these canteens confine themselves to supplying commodities other than orthodox meals?
§ The Financial Secretary to the War Office (Mr. Richard Law)An instruction is being issued restricting the sale of food, including chocolates and sweets, in all canteens in camps and barracks in the United Kingdom during the hour and a half before, and the two hours after, the usual time at which the main meal of the day begins.
