§ 18. Brigadier Prior-Palmerasked the Secretary of State for War the price of a comparable meal obtainable in a N.A.A.F.I. and in a civilian works canteen.
§ Mr. ShinwellPrices of meals in civilian works canteens are in many cases subsidised by the firm, so that no real comparison can be made with N.A.A.F.I. prices. I give below a list of prices in N.A.A.F.I. canteens and in typical civilian works canteens.
Following is the list:
