§ 18. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to assist the citizens of Aberdeen who are threatened with food shortages caused by the recent storms there.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonNone, Sir. So far as my right hon. Friend is aware, no threat of shortages exists.
§ Mr. HughesDoes the hon. Gentleman realise that if he read the Aberdeen Press and Journal he would find plenty of evidence about this? Will he read it in order to deal with the problems as they arise?
§ Mr. MacphersonMy right hon. Friend has made inquiries of local authorities and of local sources concerned with the food supply in the area and he is assured that no difficulty has arisen.
