HC Deb 28 June 1939 vol 349 cc442-3W
Mr. Perkins

asked the hon. Member for Dulwich, as Chairman of the Kitchen and Refreshment Room Committee, whether he is aware that, between 1st January, 1939, and 21st June, 1939, 906 lbs. of Scotch salmon were sold in the House; and whether, in view of the superior qualities of Severn salmon, he will give the House an opportunity of eating Severn salmon?

Mr. Bracewell Smith

I am fully aware of the quantity of Scotch salmon which has been sold in the House this year. The figures quoted by the hon. Member are correct and are those given to him in my written reply of 21st June. I cannot trace that there has been any particular demand for Severn salmon, and cannot agree that it is superior to Scotch salmon.
