FOOD STOCKS
EFFECT OF NAZI RAIDS ON LONDON ANNOYING BY NOT SERIOUS. LORD WOOLTON’S SURVEY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) RUGBY, September 10. The effect upon food stocks of the Nazi bombing raids on London were described by the Food Minister, 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 suffered chiefly. There was also damage to stores of animal feeding stuffs and meat. None of this damage, however. would affect rationing, Lord Woolton said. As a result of patient organisation, the Food Ministry knew where food supplies were and in times like the present justification for that work was plainly seen. Lord Woolton added that he had visited the East End where ho saw the people feeding communally after their homes had been damaged. “I think they are perfectly marvellous,” he said.
