HC Deb 01 July 1947 vol 439 c136W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for War, if he is aware of the drastic cut in beer and other supplies to the British troops in Austria; what is the reason for the cut; and, in view of the effect on the morale of the personnel of the B.T.A., if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bellenger

I am not aware of any cut in beer or other supplies to the troops in Austria. I have called for a report from H.Q., British Troops in Austria and will communicate with the hon. Member.
