Description | Hopes that the next meeting will bring some finality on policy -- says the Committee must move beyond the assumption that the supply of cereals can be maintained, and consider the case in Italy where the deficit 'might be 12 to 15 per cent' -- if the government presses on rationing 'for political reasons' the committee should consider the least harmful scheme -- agrees that a committee close to Lord Davenport would be useful, but notes he seems immersed in negotiations with trade. |
