18. Mr. Astorasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare, whether further consideration has now been given to the suggestion of dropping small packages of food broadcast on Greek towns?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare (Mr. Dingle Foot)I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which I gave him on 1st December, to which I have nothing to add.
Mr. AstorDoes that mean that the hon. Gentleman has given no further consideration to this matter whatever? May I also ask whether he has discussed this proposal with the Greek Government?
§ Mr. FootNo, Sir, it does not mean that we have not given the matter further consideration. What I said on the last occasion was that the sugestion would be borne in mind. I was not ruling it out. That implies further consideration.
