§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to maintain as far as possible the value of the pay of serving soldiers, sailors and airmen, he will consider making arrangements so that tobacco and cigarettes sold at Navy, Army and Air Force Institute canteens may be purchased by serving men at the price appertaining before the introduction of the war Budget?
§ Sir J. SimonThere is no legislation fixing the price at which Navy, Army and Air Force institute canteens sell tobacco and cigarettes, but my hon. Friend will appreciate that, since drawback of duty is payable on manufactured tobacco and cigarettes which are exported from this country, our forces abroad can enjoy the advantage of purchasing these articles duty free.
