§ Mr. McAdamasked the Minister of Food to what extent supplies of food are being held up in Australia because of the conflicting reactions and inactions of the British Ministries and Departments; and if he will take steps to put an end to these delays.
§ Sir B. SmithSupplies of food are moving forward normally under our standing arrangement with Australia, and if means can be found to provide increased supplies of meat and dairy produce or of non-refrigerated cargo which we need, I should be very glad to purchase and ship them. I am not aware of any exceptional delay.
