§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Secretary of State for War whether members of the Home Guard are entitled to make use of the activities of Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes; and whether this organisation draws any cigarettes or chocolate rations for members of the Home Guard?
§ Captain MargessonMembers of the Home Guard when in uniform are entitled to make use of Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes canteens. The answer to the last part of the Question is "No, Sir."
§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Secretary of State for War whether, to help the small tobacconist who is endeavouring to carry on business against the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes' competition, he will leave the tobacco supply of small military units to these traders, who can adequately accept the responsibility?
§ Captain MargessonI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to him on 26th June. As the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes cater for service personnel only, there is, of course, no question of competition between tobacconists and the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes with regard to the former's ordinary customers.
