HC Deb 05 May 1958 vol 587 c846
47. Mr. Wiley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the question of a world food reserve.

Mr. John Hare

I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. Member for Meriden (Mr. Moss) on 12th December, 1957.

Mr. Willey

In view of the food surpluses in the world, will the right hon. Gentleman see that this subject is kept alive? Will he pay attention to it and try to get something done?

Mr. Hare

I think the hon. Gentleman knows that the Director-General of F.A.O. is submitting a report fairly soon in which these matters will be discussed. I think he also knows Her Majesty's Government's reactions in principle.
