§ Sir D. THOMSONasked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether the imported supplies of chilled and frozen meat can be dealt with by the present facilities in the case of national emergency should the arrivals of liners carrying such cargo be subject to disorganisation and delay; and whether he is in general satisfied with the cold storage accommodation in this country in case of emergency?
§ Sir T. INSKIPI have fully in mind the importance of the contingency to which my hon. Friend refers in the first 1005W part of the question. As regards the second part, the existing cold storage accommodation is well in excess of normal requirements.
