§ Mr. E. Walkdenasked the Secretary of State for War what reports or corn-plaints he has received as to the quality, poor mixture and unpopular flavour of the new free issue cigarettes which are supplied to the trops in Italy and Northern Africa; what action he has taken; and if he will give an opportunity to Members of Parliament to sample these cigarettes.
