I am aware that there have been complaints by Service families in Germany about the prices in N.A.A.F.I. family shops. The matter has been investigated, and the prices charged are considered to be justified. As regards the particular examples referred to in the Question, my hon. Friend appears to have been misinformed: Allenbury's Foods Nos. 1 and 2 cost, in B.A.O.R., 4s. 6d., and No. 3, 2s. a tin, which are the current prices in this country; Bisto costs 8½d. for an 8 ounce pack compared with 7½d. for a 7 ounce pack in this country. Although it is true that some goods cost more than in the United Kingdom, others cost less.
