§ 18. Mr. Norman Bowerasked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to a N.A.A.F.I. advertisement in the Press implying that canteen supplies were available to the troops within a few days of the initial landing in Sicily, whereas, in fact, no canteen was opened for three weeks; and whether he will see that the publication of such misleading advertisements is discontinued?
§ Sir J. GriggI understand that some N.A.A.F.I. stores were in fact landed within 80 hours of the first landing of troops, but owing to more pressing military demands on the transport in Sicily the stores did not reach the troops for the first three weeks.
