§ 38. Sir R. Rossasked the Minister of Food what additional quantities of maize meal he has arranged to have exported to Eire as pig food; and whether this involves any diminution of the supply to pig producers in the United Kingdom.
§ Dr. SummerskillNo arrangements have been made to export any maize meal to Eire, and none has been exported during recent years. The second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. HurdCan the hon. Lady say whether we have made available to Eire any dollars for the purpose of buying maize in America?
§ Dr. SummerskillThe hon. Gentleman is probably thinking of the arrangement made with Eire to lend her some maize which is to be returned by February, 1949.
