HC Deb 18 January 1949 vol 460 c3
3. Mr. Niall Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will make arrangements to enable members of His Majesty's Forces and their wives in Germany when purchasing at N.A.A.F.I. stores those articles of food that are subsidised directly or indirectly in this country, to share the full benefit of current subsidies.

Mr. M. Stewart

Rations for soldiers and their families in B.A.O.R. are not supplied by N.A.A.F.I. but by the R.A.S.C. Only a few special foodstuffs, such as sauces and baby foods, are sold by N.A.A.F.I. Those foodstuffs whose prices are subsidised in the United Kingdom, whether supplied by the R.A.S.C. or by N.A.A.F.I. are supplied to soldiers' families in Germany at prices which pass on to them the full benefit of the subsidies.
