HC Deb 05 March 1918 vol 103 c1809
74. Mr. ROCH

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Shipping Controller whether the strikes of workmen in the Argentine are interfering with the shipments of frozen meat and cereals to this and Allied countries; and what steps, if any, are being taken in connection therewith?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of SHIPPING (Sir Leo Chiozza Money)

Shipments of frozen meat and cereals have been interfered with only to a slight extent through the recent strikes in the Argentine; the situation is being carefully watched and every effort will be made to obviate further trouble.
