§ 36. Sir William Darlingasked the Minister of Food, in view of the shortages of grain, what plans he has to acquire such foods as the £125,000 worth of crops being burnt in the Argentine owing to economic blockade.
§ Mr. StracheyThe hon. Member is apparently under a misapprehension. The burning of cereals in Argentina took place during the war when supplies of imported fuel were inadequate. I am purchasing all the cereals which I can obtain from Argentina.
