§ 50. Mr. George Wallaceasked the Minister of Food to what extent gift shipments of wheat have been made from the U.S.A. to the United Kingdom.
§ Dr. SummerskillSo far as I am aware, there have been no gift shipments of wheat from the United States of America to the United Kingdom during or since the war years.
§ Mr. WallaceIs the hon. Lady aware that my Question was put down at the request of two American visitors from the Middle West, who informed me that two shiploads of wheat had been sent to this country?
§ Dr. SummerskillI have no knowledge of them. The Americans kindly sent a small amount of flour during the war to the Women's Voluntary Service and the British Red Cross. Apart from that, there have been no gifts, and no shipments of wheat under Lend-Lease.
