HC Deb 09 October 1940 vol 365 c375W
Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what arrangements are made to make good a proportion of supplies to inland corn and cake merchants whose main source of supply may be cut off through enemy action affecting port mills or warehouses, in order that farmers and others dependent on those inland merchants may be kept going?

Mr. Boothby

The arrangements made to provide alternative sources of supply in cases such as those mentioned by the hon. Member vary according to the commodity, and the source of supply. It would not be in the public interest to give details of these arrangements.
