§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Food why margarine and cooking fat manufactured in the United Kingdom are being exported to the Sudan, where butter can be obtained from Kenya and fat from Egypt.
§ Mr. StracheyThe relatively small quantities of margarine (25 tons) and284W cooking fats (15 tons), which are being exported from the United Kingdom to the Sudan, are needed by the Sudan to meet her requirements of oils and fats in addition to the quantities obtainable from other sources. These fats are included in the oils and fats allocated to the United Kingdom by the International Emergency Food Council to cover exports to territories for which His Majesty's Government have a measure of responsibility.
