35. Mrs. Middleton

asked the Minister of Food what allocation of dried and crystallised fruit is made to N.A.A.F.1. canteens for the respective purposes of making flour confectionery and of sale over the counter to Service men and to their wives.

Mr. Strachey

Dried fruit is allocated to N.A.A.F.I. family shops on the basis of their registered customers for sale against points to Service men's wives and families; and to N.A.A.F.I. canteens for making flour confectionery at the rate of 3 lb. per week for every l00 men and women. Some of this may be prepared and sold as stewed fruit. No crystallised fruits or uncooked dried fruits are sold by retail through N.A.A.F.I. canteens.
