HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 cc2438-40W
Mr. CAUTLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended that the Navy and Army Canteen Board shall set up retail establishments in towns where military, naval, or air forces are stationed for the supply of general goods to officers, men, and their families in competition with private traders; and, if so, how he justifies such State-aided competition?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on Tuesday last to the hon. and gallant Member for Llandaff and Barry (Major Cope).
