§ Sir B. FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Navy, Army and Air Force Canteen's white price list is operative all the year round in ships on the American and West Indies station; whether there are always ample supplies available of foodstuffs shown on the list; and what the percentage increase in cost is of articles of perishable food which have to be purchased locally on the station, such as fish, vegetables, fruit, eggs, butter, etc., compared with the price of such items in England?
§ Mr. AMMONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and in regard to the second part, I understand, from inquiry of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes, that adequate supplies are available. As regards the third part, information is not at present available, but the matter is being inquired into.
