HC Deb 28 January 1948 vol 446 c157W
106. Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for Air what was the value of food produced on R.A.F. aerodromes and stations in 1945 and 1946, respectively; and if it is proposed to increase the production for 1948, in view of the food crisis.

Mr. A. Henderson

The value of food produced by the R.A.F. was £188,700 in 1945 and £95,000 in 1946. In spite of the decrease in the size of the Force, it rose in 1947 to about £125,000 and I am now examining plans for a further increase in 1948.
