HC Deb 18 July 1955 vol 544 cc16-7W
Sir C. Taylor

asked the hon. Member for Woolwich, West, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, whether he will ensure that herrings served in the dining rooms are complete with their roes when seasonable.

Sir W. Steward

It is the policy of the Refreshment Department to serve roes in fresh herrings whenever possible. The hon. Member will, of course, appreciate that home-caught fresh herrings with roes are only available for approximately six months of the year. Herring roes are shortly coming into season and will soon be in all the herrings in the dining rooms of the House.
