HC Deb 18 May 1931 vol 252 cc1617-8W
Mr. BIRD

asked the hon. Member for the Gorton Division, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether he is aware that the coffee-pots in use in the Members' Dining Rooms are of foreign manufacture; and if he will undertake to buy British ones in future?

Mr. COMPTON

I am aware that a few earthenware coffee-pots of foreign manufacture are still in use in the Dining Rooms. These are old stock, and no foreign earthenware coffee-pots have been purchased for some time past.
