HC Deb 27 April 1939 vol 346 c1340W
Mr. Turton

asked the hon. Member for Dulwich, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether, in order to help home and Empire agriculture the Committee will discontinue the sale of foreign-made cheese in the House of Commons?

Mr. Bracewell Smith

The quantity of foreign cheese sold in our dining-rooms forms a very small percentage of the total amount consumed, and in the opinion of the Kitchen Committee it would not be advisable to discontinue the sale of these special cheeses.

Mr. Turton

asked the hon. Member for Dulwich, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether the Committeee will include Wensleydale cheese in the list of cheeses obtainable in the House of Commons?

Mr. Bracewell Smith

The Kitchen Committee will be glad to supply Wensleydale cheese if there is a sufficient demand for it.
