§ Mr. Denvilleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will inquire into the system of issuing permits to canteens, in view of a recent conviction of a man who drew foodstuffs for seven months for a canteen that did not exist?
§ Mr. MabaneI am unaware of the conviction to which my hon. Friend refers but if he will provide further details I will have inquiries made. The system of issuing permits to catering establishments is kept under constant review and my Noble Friend does not consider that there is any need for revision at the present time.
