HC Deb 12 February 1930 vol 235 cc432-3W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if steps will be taken to discontinue the cooking overnight of food for breakfast in establishments under the general messing system?

Mr. AMMON

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply following his question on this subject on 10th July, 1929.

Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will abolish the payment of 5 per cent. to the ship's fund on the value of goods purchased by messes from private traders, in view of this payment having been abolished for goods purchased from private traders by paymaster-commanders in charge of general messes?

Mr. AMMON

Any such practice is a matter of local arrangement with which the Admiralty does not propose to interfere.
