38. Mr. David Adams

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, with a view to aiding the trade of the colonies and home defence, he has placed cocoa upon the list of commodities to be stored for war emergency requirements?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Mr. Cross)

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Royton (Mr. Sutcliffe) on 20th December.

Mr. Turton

Will my hon. Friend bear in mind that there are plenty of drinks produced at home to tide us over an emergency?

Mr. Day

Will this question be referred to the committee mentioned earlier this afternoon?

Mr. Cross

I should require notice of that question.
