HC Deb 10 December 1947 vol 445 c197W
62. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Food if he will instruct his representatives throughout Great Britain to grant permission to Service reunions to get the food required, such as is now obtainable for workers' canteens or British Restaurants, without B.Us. or points, irrespective of the number attending.

Dr. Summerskill

The hon. Member is under a misapprehension if he considers that British Restaurants or workers' canteens have special facilities for social, functions. My right hon. Friend cannot agree to give special permission to Service reunions who may if they wish ask a caterer to provide light refreshments regardless of the number attending.
