HC Deb 20 November 1918 vol 110 c3415
44. Colonel AMERY

asked the Food Controller what steps are being taken, or are contemplated, by the Allied Governments with a view to relieving the distress prevailing in Albania?

Mr. PARKER (Lord of the Treasury)

The task of relieving distress due to the shortage of food in Albania is being undertaken by the Italian Government, who have, I understand, already taken steps to meet the urgent necessities of the situation. I should add that the relief of distress due to shortage of food in this and the neighbouring regions is under the general direction of the Inter-Allied Food Council.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Then I understand it is not left entirely to the Italian Government?

Mr. PARKER

That is so.
