HC Deb 20 November 1941 vol 376 c488W
Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Economic Warfare whether he has any statement to make with reference to the shipment through the British blockade of food and clothing for children in France from the United States of America; and what safeguards exist to prevent Germany benefiting from this gift?

Mr. Foot

The American Red Cross have been authorised to send a shipload of milk products and baby clothes for distribution in unoccupied France. These goods will be distributed for the benefit of children, under the direct control of the American Red Cross.
