HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 c122W
81. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Food what progress has been made in discussions with the Roumanian Government regarding the purchase of feeding-stuffs for livestock; and what is the cause of the continued delay.

Mr. Strachey

The Roumanian Government have now prepared lists of the foodstuffs and other commodities available for export from Roumania and the imports they desire to obtain from the United Kingdom. As soon as the detailed lists have been received and examined I hope that negotiations will be undertaken for the purchase of feedingstuffs and other articles.
