HC Deb 07 November 1944 vol 404 cc1246-7
43. Major Mott-Radclyffe

asked the Secretary of State for War how many mobile can[...]eens are at present operating in the Eighth Army area in Italy.

Sir J. Grigg

There are now 97 mobile canteens in Italy run by N.A.A.F.I. and the voluntary bodies. A further 60 N.A.A.F.I. mobile canteens are to be despatched in the next few months. The Supreme Allied Commander decides where they are to operate and I regret I do not know how many there are in the area of the Eighth Army.
