§ 79. Mr. Byersasked the Minister of Food if he will specify the quantities and types of oils and fats which are to be obtained from the U.S.A. in return for the 10,000,000 lbs. of butter which has been allocated from New Zealand to U.S. forces in the Pacific.
§ Mr. StracheyI can assure the hon. Member that we shall obtain from the United States oil and fats of a quality and quantity which will at least compensate us for the ro,000,000 lbs. of New Zealand butter exchanged. We are still discussing the matter with the U.S. Administration and I cannot yet give the hon. Member further particulars.
