HC Deb 02 August 1944 vol 402 c1391W
Mr. Murray

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give the date when the soft drinks were sent to Normandy for the troops and the date when the same arrived; and whether the trading of beer for bars of chocolate among the troops has now ceased.

Mr. A. Henderson

Soft drinks were available for issue from N.A.A.F.I.'s stores in Normandy on and after 13th July. I have no knowledge of the practice referred to in the last part of my hon. Friend's Question.
