asked the Secretary of State for War why the Army contract for tea confines purchases to the product of India and Ceylon, thus excluding East Africa and Pakistan.

We stipulate that tea shall consist of "a blend of teas of the Indian/ Ceylon types" in order to exclude China and other types of tea which are not required. We do not exclude the products of the countries mentioned or any others.

asked the Secretary of State for Air what reply he has sent to representations made by the Caistor Rural District Council about his proposal to close the road through Binbrook Aerodrome.

I have sent my hon. Friend a copy.
