Mr. J. Wellsasked the honourable Member for Holland-with-Boston, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, why the refreshment department ran out of bacon early in the small hours of Thursday 30th July when a late sitting was probable.
§ Sir H. ButcherIt is regretted that in the course of a working day whose duration was unprecedented in the current Session, the interval of half an hour in which bacon was unprocurable in the Members' Cafeteria should have been coterminous with the period when the hon. Member desired to refresh himself with that comestible.
