HC Deb 12 July 1920 vol 131 c1971W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War when the Departmental Committee that has been appointed to inquire into the future of the Navy and Army Canteen Board is expected to present its Report?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

I regret that at present I am not in a position to forecast the date.

Viscount WOLMER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any Departmental Committee has been appointed to advise upon the future of the Navy and Army Canteen Board in the Navy; whether the, Admiralty are in touch with the Departmental Committee of the War Office now sitting on that subject or are represented upon it; and, if so, by, whom?

Sir R. SANDERS

It has not been considered necessary to appoint a Departmental Committee at the Admiralty to advise upon the future constitution of the Navy and Army Canteen Board. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative; and to the last part, that the Admiralty is represented by the Fourth Sea Lord on the Inter-Departmental Committee on Canteen Organisation now sitting at the War Office.
