HC Deb 23 May 1944 vol 400 cc586-7W
Mr. E. Walkden

asked 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.

Sir J. Grigg

The answer to the first part of the Question is "None, Sir." The cigarettes in issue are manufactured in this country. They are of well-known brands and of the same standard and specification as the cigarettes on sale to the public here.
