HC Deb 15 May 1924 vol 173 c1558W
Sir T. BRAMSDON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty the amount of profit to the Government caused through the sale of clothing, soap, and tobacco to the men of the Royal Navy during the year 1923; and how this profit, if any, has been disposed of?

Mr. AMMON

There is no profit, the prices charged being the actual cost to the Admiralty plus a small percentage addition to cover establishment charges.
