HC Deb 16 December 1952 vol 509 cc185-6W
Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Secretary of State for War why soldiers on leave are issued with personal points which can only be exchanged for sweets at a Navy, Army and Air Force Institute canteen; and, as there is no Navy, Army and Air Force Institute canteen near Stockton-on-Tees, whether these personal points will be exchanged for civilian points so that soldiers on leave can obtain their sweet ration.

Mr. Head

I am obliged to the hon. Member for bringing this matter to my notice. I am hoping to make arrangements with my right hon. and gallant Friend the Minister of Food to avoid difficulty of this kind in future.
