§ Mr. Prittasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Forces in the Middle East find the cigarettes which are issued free as distasteful as the V cigarettes which were previously issued; and whether he Will take steps to supply free cigarettes of the same brands as those which are supplied in N.A.A.F.I. for payment.
§ Sir J. GriggThe cigarettes in free issue throughout the Middle East are, since the middle of June, proprietary brands made in the United Kingdom to a specification in no way inferior, and in some ways superior, to that of the cigarettes purchasable by the public here. Such cigarettes are similar in type, make and tobacco content to those sold by N.A.A.F.I.
