§ 37. Mr. J. Morganasked the President of the Board of Trade what are the grounds on which restrictions are imposed on imported fruits, with the exception of apples, at a time when glut conditions prevail in the home apple crop?
§ Mr. StanleyI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on 13th September to the hon. Member for Brecon and Radnor (Mr. Jackson).
§ Mr. MorganIs it not the fact that apples are being allowed in and other fruit excluded when the home yield is so plentiful?
§ Mr. StanleyI said in answer to the previous question that the import of apples was not so urgent a question; they come in at a later date than the other fruit. They are excluded at the moment in order to give an opportunity for discussion with the importing countries.
