55. Mr. Reeves

asked the Minister of Food how the United Kingdom voted in the United Nations Second Committee on the proposal to establish a world food re serve; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Hill

The United Kingdom voted in favour of the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 14th December. This requested the Secretary-General to invite the Food and Agriculture Organisation to prepare for submission to the Economic and Social Council a factual and comprehensive report on what has been and is being done on the question of a world food reserve.
