HC Deb 17 February 1954 vol 523 cc205-6W
49. Mr. R. Harris

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps Her Majesty's Government are taking to acquire part of the Australian food surplus for those parts of the Colonial Territories which are suffering from lack of food.

Mr. Lyttelton

None. The only food of which Australia has a surplus is wheat and the Colonial Territories are already importing all the wheat they need.
