94. Mr. DENNISSasked the Minister for Blockade whether he can give any information as to what arrangements are in force for co-ordinating the blockade policy of the Allies?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of BLOCKADE (Commander Leverton Harris)We are working in complete accord with our Allies in a joint policy of blockade, which is settled by constant exchange of views and comparison of information between the Governments concerned. An Allied Blockade Advisory Committee, which is presided over by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of Blockade, sits regularly in London, and Allied Sub-committees, which have proved to be of great value, have been set up in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland to advise this Committee regarding blockade matters in these countries. Representatives of the Allied countries are also giving valuable assistance on other Committees dealing with specific blockade questions. I regret that, by mistake, this answer was circulated yesterday, when the question was postponed.
