HC Deb 01 July 1947 vol 439 cc136-7W
40. Major Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the brand of cigarettes known as "Melange," of which two are issued to German prisoners of war for every working day of not less than eight hours, is of extremely low quality; and of what tobacco or other ingredients these cigarettes are made.

Mr. J. Freeman

No. These cigarettes are not of low quality. They are made of a good blend of Greek and Turkish tobaccos and nothing else.
