Surely this is the best so far…
Vending Machines
Debbie Abrahams: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many vending machines in his Department’s premises contain snack foods that are high in calories and low in nutritional value. [163525]
Dr Murrison:Â The information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Perhaps it should have read:
Now please F**k Off and stop wasting my time
If you had ever had to look after Cadets on MoD property you would realise vending machines are an extremely important issue.
after reading a few of these questions, I once joked a question would be asked about the nutritious value of biscuits eaten in the mod. Looks like I wasn’t far off…
Army/RN/RAF has more vending machines than tanks/ships/jets.

Seventeen identical vending machine questions. She certainly deserves 74 grand for her hard work. Snack bombshells include…
Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Brandon Lewis (Con).
” I would observe that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister signed a facilities management contract in 2004 which required that there ‘must be top-selling brands’ of chocolate in the vending machine for the first Secretary of State.
Ministers in this Administration would regard that as over-specification.”
Minister for the Cabinet Office, Chloe Smith (Con).
” I do not think asking civil servants to analyse the nutritional contents of the drinks and snacks on offer is an appropriate use of public funds.”

TD and all;
Remember the drinks cabinets one?
@X – One of my favourite films ever.
@WiseApe: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!” Quality film!
Ace you’ve picked out one of my favourite movie lines. Right up there with: “You look like 40 miles of rough road.” (Paris,Texas).
Odd that the only other film about defence I can think of with a vending machine is also to do with cans not of soda but instant sunshine, Sum of All Fears.
Of course there is another reason to remember that film too…………

worth a 10 % pay rise to have MPs asking such valuable questions.
Nutritional content – Dads Army. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-MMk0YZ8lSE
Can I submit a runner up , I think to be truly pointless a question should have actually been answered:
Steve Rotheram: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information his Department holds on how many service personnel in Liverpool are currently entitled to an HM Forces Railcard. [162301]
Mr Francois: All members of the regular armed forces and reservists undertaking full-time or permanent service are entitled to an HM Forces Railcard.
As at 1 April 2013 there were 110 Regular and full-time reserve service personnel serving in the Liverpool area.
