§ 30. Mr. Barrasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many wet canteens have been authorised in Scotland under the provisions of Defence Regulation 60AA (Canteens for civilian workers, seamen and fishermen)?
Mr. JohnstonThree canteens have been authorised in Scotland under the provisions of Defence Regulation 60AA—two by the Secretary of State for Air and one by the Minister of Labour and National Service.
Mr. JohnstonAs to why so little advantage has been taken of Regulation 60AA, I should imagine, although it is only a guess, that the absence of any private appropriation of profits from these canteens has limited the number of applications.
§ Major LyonsHow many applications have been made to and refused by the right hon. Gentleman?
§ Mr. McKinlayHow many stoppages of work have taken place because of the lack of drinking facilities?
Viscountess AstorIs it not the case that during the last war the Government of the day had to limit drink because they wanted to increase output, while this Government seem to think that the more you drink the better you work?
