§ 125. Lieut.-Commander Braithwaiteasked the hon. Member for Bristol, North-East, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, why oysters are being served out of season in the Members' Dining Room.
§ Mr. ColdrickI am informed that the opening and the closing of the oyster season are determined by the oyster producers, depending on the quality of the oyster at the time; therefore the start of the season may be delayed until the oysters reach the standard that the producers require. Further, the season may terminate about the middle of April, or it may go on, as it has this year, until 3rd May. I may add that oysters were served for two days only.
