HC Deb 07 July 1915 vol 73 c378W
Captain CHARLES BATHURST

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, considering the prospective value to the nation of this year's potato crop, steps will be taken to prevent small immature potatoes being supplied in large quantities to military camps as the result of pressure being put upon Government food contractors?

Mr. TENNANT

Potatoes are not issued to the troops as rations, but they are on sale in regimental canteens. It is under consideration whether steps should be taken to prevent the sale of immature potatoes in canteens.
