HC Deb 24 May 1916 vol 82 c2114W
Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether he can confirm the statement which he made at the Mansion House on 4th May that relief food sent through the National Committee for Relief in Belgium reaches the Belgians and the French and them alone?

The PRIME MINISTER

Yes, Sir, I can confirm that statement as far as it is possible to be certain of what occurs in territory occupied by the enemy. We are satisfied that effective care and precaution are taken by those entrusted with the supply to secure that it should reach the Belgians and French alone.
