§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if the Navy have participated in the distribution of profits made by Expeditionary Force canteens; if so, what is the amount which has already been received and to what fund it was allocated?
§ Mr. AMERYThe answer is in the negative, as the Expeditionary Force canteens did not supply the Navy to any material extent. If, however, my hon. and gallant Friend refers to the trading profits on the naval side of the Navy, Army and Canteen Board, arrangements are being made to enable the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust to benefit from those profits, but the exact details of these arrangements are not yet settled.
