South-East Asia Command (Canteen Services)

HC Deb 09 March 1944 vol 397 cc2198-9

76. Miss Ward

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now give an assurance that an adequate N.A.A.F.I. organisation will operate under the South Eastern Asia Command.

Mr. A. Henderson

Arrangements are being made for an adequate canteen service for the troops in South-East Asia Command which will be run partly by the Indian Canteen Stores Department and partly by N.A.A.F.I.

Miss Ward

When is it proposed that this shall go into operation?

Mr. Henderson

That depends upon a certain number of operational factors.
