asked the Secretary of State for War whether in view of the recent decision to stop the dispatch of duty-free cigarettes to troops in Europe he will make arrangements for serving personnel to be able to buy at their local N.A.A.F.I. branch a limited further allowance of duty-free cigarettes to supplement the present personal ration of 120 per week.

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to the hon. and learned Member for the City of Chester (Mr. Nield) on Tuesday last.
