§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement as to the extent to which food is now being brought to the liberated countries by U.N.R.R.A. or other agencies.
§ Mr. George HallThe only agencies at present responsible for bringing foodstuffs to liberated areas are the Supreme Allied Commands in the North-West European and Mediterranean theatres. It is hoped that the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration may be enabled to take over this responsibility at an early date in certain countries. I understand, however, that, pending this, members of the Administration's staff are co-operating with the military authorities in the distribution of relief in Greece.
