HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c27W
81. Mr. Chamberlain

asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the food situation in the British zone of Germany, the Government will make special arrangements for the transmission to that zone of the extra Christmas rations of those who are willing to forgo them.

Mr. Strachey

These extra rations would not be so helpful to the German people as would additional supplies of cereals which are under discussion with the United States Government. The question of permitting the despatch of individual food parcels to Germany is, however, under review.
