HC Deb 05 December 1944 vol 406 c385W
Mr. Summers

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give the latest available information as to food supplies in Holland and France and the arrangements which are being made to supplement them.

Sir J. Grigg

The United Kingdom and United States authorities are jointly supplementing local deficiencies of food-stuffs with the object of bringing the diet in liberated countries up to a certain standard. The conditions vary very greatly from district to district, but the main difficulties arise from deficiencies in the facilities for distributing the food-stuffs.
