HC Deb 14 August 1919 vol 119 c1631
75. Mr. HALLAS

asked the Food Controller if he is aware that the Australian meat canning works are hung up and can not get orders from England for tinned beef or mutton, whilst America is exporting to the United Kingdom all that she can at a much higher price than Australia has been able to get all through the War; and can he furnish any explanation of these facts?

Mr. MCCURDY

I have no information to the effect that the Australian meat canning works are unable to find a market in England for any canned goods which may be shipped in this country.
