BRITAIN’S FOOD
UNIMPORTANT DAMAGE.
EFFECT OF RAIDS
(United Press Association —Copyright.)
(British Official Wireless.) (Sec. 10 a.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 10. The effect upon the food stocks of the Nazi bombing raids on London is described by the Minister of Rood (Lord Woolton) as annoying in detail but entirely unimportant as regards either the nation’s food supplies or those of London.
Flour mills and sugar warehouses have suffered chiefly, and there is also damage to the stores of animal feeding stuffs and meat. None of this damage, however, will affect rationing. Lord Woolton said that as a result of patient organisation the Food Ministry knew where the food supplies wore, and in times like the present the justification for that work was plainly seen. Lord Woolton added that he had visited the East End where he saw people feeding communally after their homes had been damaged. “I think they are perfectly marvellous,” he said.
