HC Deb 07 June 1944 vol 400 c1352
55. Mr. Hewlett

asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the great increase of the consumption in the U.S.A. of Latin-American coffee which will leave little for export to Europe, adequate supplies of this commodity for ourselves and for the activities of U.N.R.R.A. can be regarded as assured.

Colonel Llewellin

Stocks of coffee in the United Kingdom are adequate for a considerable period at present rates of consumption. The world supply position is such that sufficient supplies should be available for relief.
