HC Deb 28 November 1945 vol 416 c1318
51. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Food if any machinery exists where by persons desirous of relinquishing a proportion of their points in order to send food to the starving populations of Europe are enabled to do so; and if not, will he make the necessary arrangements together with appropriate publicity.

Sir B. Smith

The answer to both parts of the Question is "No, Sir."

Mr. Stokes

Is my right hon. Friend aware that public opinion in this country is entirely opposed to the attitude which he is adopting; that a large meeting at the Albert Hall recently protested in favour of voluntary contributions? May I have an answer to that question?

Sir B. Smith

No, I am not aware of it.

Mr. Stokes

Then will the Minister himself please attend the next meeting on this subject?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman must ask questions in the proper way.

Mr. Stokes

I shall raise the matter on the Adjournment.
