§ Squadron-Leader Hollisasked the Minister of Food how many tons of cereals have been sent by the U.S.S.R. to countries in Europe in the past three months; and how many tons have been promised in that period.
Mr. McNeilI have been asked to reply. It is not possible to give any figures of the amounts of cereals supplied or promised by the U.S.S.R. over the last three months to countries in Europe since reports are conflicting. There have been reports of an undertaking to supply grain to France and also to Roumania and Bulgaria. When the Combined Food Board consider applications for imports they take into account any supplies received by the applicant countries from U.S.S.R. or other sources.
