HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 cc755-6
6. Mr. Price

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the nature of the communication which he has received from the Government of the United States of America in regard to letting food supplies through the blockade to the unoccupied part of France?

Mr. Butler

My Noble Friend has received no communication of the kind referred to. At the same time the hon. Member may take it that His Majesty's Government are in close touch with the United States Government upon matters such as this.

Mr. Mander

Will the Minister make it clear that the feeding of the populations of Europe depends entirely upon Hitler and no one else?
