HC Deb 17 July 1950 vol 477 c1838
18. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food the total advances made to the Overseas Food Corporation to date.

Mr. F. Willey

The total to date is £35,723,000.

Mr. Hurd

In view of this figure, which shows that the excess of expenditure over income is running at about £1 million a month, can the Parliamentary Secretary say whether any limit has been set to future expenditure, say, in the next six months?

Mr. Willey

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will await tomorrow's Debate.
