§ 31. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the interest displayed in the exhibition of dried foods in the Upper Waiting Hall, if he will arrange for a limited number of hon. Members to sample a meal composed entirely of this food; and if he will give details of the menu.
§ Mr. DoddsThe Parliamentary Secretary has been co-operative in the past. Will he say why this cannot be done in a limited way? Is it because he fears for the health of Members of Parliament, and that criticism will be made, or has he and his Department the utmost confidence in the products from the factory at Aberdeen?
Mr. VaneIt is not a question of lack of confidence. We carry out a number of food tests, and while we try to do many helpful things for different people, our title of Ministry of Food must not be taken to mean that we run a restaurant service.
