HC Deb 25 February 1946 vol 419 cc326-7W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Food whether any further tonnage has been allocated for distribution in Europe by U.N.R.R.A. from United Kingdom stocks to the 9,168 tons of canned meat, 2,080 tons of tea, 51,000 tons of oil seeds, 3,500 tons of cocoa beans from British West Africa and 11,000 tons of palm kernels; the comparative figures provided for this purpose from the U.S.A. and South American countries; and the estimated minimum demand for the next six months to meet U.N.R.R.A.'s requirements.

Sir B. Smith

The C.F.B. has allocated no food to U.N.R.R.A. from U.K. stocks for the first half of 1946. Particulars of allocations by the C.F.B. from other countries can only be made public by the Board itself with the concurrence of the countries concerned. U.N.R.R.A.'s minimum requirements of food for the first half of 1946 are still under consideration in Washington.
