HC Deb 23 February 1944 vol 397 cc809-10
10. Mr. Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps have been taken towards the implementing of the decisions of the Hot Springs Conference.

Mr. Law

The Interim Commission which was set up in accordance with Resolution II of the Hot Springs Conference, has now completed the task of preparing a draft formal declaration of principles and a draft constitution for a Permanent Organisation of Food and Agriculture. These drafts have been referred to the Governments concerned for further consideration.

Mr. Price

Will the Foreign Secretary take every opportunity to impress upon the Governments concerned the great importance of the decisions of this Conference from the point of view of world food?

Mr. Law

I am sure that my right hon. Friend will do everything possible to press the matter.
