§ Squadron-Leader Hollisasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to what extent the Powers controlling German territory are jointly contributing to food supplies for Germany from the production of the soil they are occupying.
§ Mr. J. HyndI cannot speak for all the zones of Germany but indigenous production has not sufficed to maintain the ration scales hitherto in force in the three Western zones, and it has been necessary to make up deficiencies by substantial imports. Each zone has, so far, been provisioned independently, but the recent reduction in the amounts available for import, together with the seasonal rundown of indigenous stocks, has made it necessary to examine urgently how to make the best use of all available resources to meet the present crisis.
