HC Deb 23 January 1945 vol 407 cc666-7W
Mr. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any recent improvement has been achieved in the provision of transport to France and Italy and other liberated countries for the purpose of relieving the critical situation arising in these countries through inability to distribute available supplies of food.

Sir J. Grigg

Considerable quantities of transportation equipment, including railway material and lorries, have been and are still being imported into all liberated areas, including France and Italy. Reports from the theatres confirm that in spite of difficulties with communications, the distribution of supplies is improving.
