Mr. GRUNDY

asked the Prime Minister whether the United States Liquidation Board has entered into a formal contract permitting Poland to buy such surplus American Army supplies as she may desire on a basis of six years' credit at five per cent.; and whether, collateral with this agreement, there is another agreement with the United States Shipping Board to provide for the transpont to Danzig of all the supplies thus purchased and, as a result of these two contracts, there are already en route for Danzig military equipment for 200,000 men, 80 locomotives, 4,500 cars for troop transport, 5,000,000 pounds of margarine, and 100,000 tons of flour, besides a considerable amount of miscellaneous material, such as pier cranes, oats for army horses, etc.?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which was given by the Leader of the House to a question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for East Leyton (Lieut.-Colonel Malone) on Wednesday last.
