HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 c5W
42. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Food what steps he took to secure a share of the 100,000 tons of oilcake and meals, mainly soya, being shipped to Finland, Sweden, Holland, France and Belgium from the U.S.A.

Dr. Summerskill

These purchases relate to allocations made by the International Emergency Food Council specifically to the countries named. As the council has already made separate allocations to the United Kingdom we could claim no share in the quantities mentioned.

43. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Food what quantities of oilcakes have been imported from India last year.

Dr. Summerskill

No oilcakes were imported from India during 1946.
