Mr. R. Duckworthasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps are being taken by U.N.R.R.A. to distribute soap to the inhabitants of liberated countries; and whether he is satisfied that we have enough soap to make such distribution possible.
§ Mr. EdenSoap is included among the commodities which U.N.R.R.A. plans to provide for the liberated territories which it serves. It is expected also that emphasis will be laid on the provision of raw materials to increase the manufacture of soap in those countries for their own use. As regards the second part of the Question, I am informed that U.N.R.R.A. has received an allocation from the appropriate Combined Board which will enable it to proceed with the distribution of soap.
