§ Sir FREDERICK BANBURYasked the Food Controller whether arrangements have been made for the United States Government to supply 2,808,000,000 lbs. of rice to Europe; whether this rice, or the greater part of it, is British; and, if so, whether this rice could have been supplied by British merchants?
Mr. ROBERTSNo such arrangement as that indicated in the question has been made by the Supreme Council of Supply and Relief, and I doubt if any other organisation has power to deal with the matter.
