HC Deb 25 March 1942 vol 378 c2018W
Mr. Banfield

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the number of recent prosecutions against managers and others associated with the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes canteens, in various parts of the country, he will hold an inquiry into the administration of that organisation?

Mr. Sandys

No, Sir. The Board of Management of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes was reconstituted a year ago, and the prosecutions now taking place are due to the vigorous measures taken by the Board to stamp out malpractices. The Service Departments and the Ministry of Food have been kept fully informed throughout.
