§ 19. Mr. Evelyn Walkdenasked the Secretary of State for War, to what extent the withdrawal of the permit from the services free canteen at Bessacarr, near Doncaster, is due to the organisation supplying food to service convoy drivers, &c, free of charge; is he aware that the withdrawal of the military permit has automatically cancelled the allocation of rationed food by the Minister of Food; and whether this form of restriction may be regarded as a new general principle to be applied to all free service canteens?
§ Sir J. GriggI am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that the case of this canteen has been reconsidered and it will be allowed to continue as before.
§ Mr. WalkdenThank you.
