producing country to "stock pile" meat (or other products)

on Hong Kong's behalf, such a

stock pile could then be turned

over in the normal way

in a

way that no importer in Hong Kong

would be in a position to do.

(xii) Fish

apparently can be applied to

any products without a need to

maintain freezing conditions,

only dry ones. The principle

was developed by the Ministry of

Food, but is the same as that

used for Knorr foods, etc.

this was never rationed in the

United Kingdom

because of the low

level of consumption, not because of any particular control difficulties.
