§ Flight-Lieutenant Teelingasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Alderney, Channel Islands, is now considered to be on home service; that there are so far practically no civilians and no shops there and soldiers therefore receive 90 cigarettes a week, can purchase no others and are equally restricted for other goods; and whether he will take steps to remedy the matter.
§ Mr. LawsonSteps are being taken to increase the supply of cigarettes available through N.A.A.F.I. Other goods sold through N.A.A.F.I. are already supplied on scale comparable with overseas Commands.
§ Flight-Lieutenant Teelingasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that numbers of British troops now stationed in the Channel Islands have been there for nearly six months; and when they are likely to be allowed leave.
§ Mr. LawsonLeave from the Channel Islands opened on 4th October, and there will now be a regular leave service.
