HC Deb 27 November 1917 vol 99 cc1835-6W
Mr. HASLAM

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food how many of the 161 public kitchens are under the control of local food economy committees; and are there experts, having practical knowledge of the method of providing and utilising such kitchens, available in connection with his Department for instructing and directing the efforts of such committees with the view of economy and efficiency?

Mr. CLYNES

Steps are being taken to bring all public kitchens under control, and an Order is being framed with this in view. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative.
