HC Deb 29 October 1952 vol 505 cc223-4W
Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for War why the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes have found it necessary to raise the price of a cup of tea, in view of the fall in the cost of the raw material.

Mr. Head

The Board of Management have been compelled, with reluctance, to take this step since expenditure in wages, fuel, light, transport, etc., has been steadily rising.
