HC Deb 04 February 1948 vol 446 c1808
56. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Minister of Food whether in view of the fact that meat rationing ceases in Belgium on 1st February he will try to import meat from Belgium.

The Minister of Food (Mr. Strachey)

Belgium would not be a very likely source for our meat supplies.

Sir W. Smithers

Is it not a fact that the Belgian people are better off than we are because they are less controlled?
