HC Deb 24 November 1958 vol 596 c8W
66. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he proposes to take regarding food reserves, in view of the resolution of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

Mr. Godber

This resolution puts the onus for initiating action upon those countries wanting help in establishing food reserves The United Kingdom is not in this category, nor have we surpluses that could be made available to other Governments. No action by the United Kingdom is called for, but we are ready to take part in international discussions, if invited.
