§ 4. Mr. Thorpeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much food is stocked in this country which is immune from radioactivity; and how long he estimates that these supplies would feed the people of this country in the event of an emergency.
§ Mr. SoamesIn the event of any emergency likely to occur in peace time, there would, at any given time, be ample stocks of safe food in the country to feed the population.
§ Mr. ThorpeWould the Minister include a period of high radioactivity as being synonymous with peace-time conditions?
§ Mr. SoamesYes, Sir, anything we envisage as likely to be created.
