61. Mr. Platts-Mills

asked the President of the Board of Trade what offers of machinery have been made to the Roumanian Government in exchange for maize; of what types; and on what dates.

Mr. Belcher

As was stated on 20th November by my hon. Friend, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, in reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Lewes (Major Beamish), His Majesty's Government are without official information both on the specific quantities of goods which might be made available to the United Kingdom and on the supplies which the Roumanian Government expect to obtain in exchange.
