Mr. Harvey

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare whether he will give the latest available information as to the shortage of food in Holland; and what measures are being taken for the relief of the civilian population.

I have received information from the Dutch authorities that the shortage of food in Holland is acute. His Majesty's Government and the United States Government, in consultation with the Netherlands Government, are endeavouring to make arrangements for bringing relief to the civilian population.
