HC Deb 30 May 1927 vol 207 c10
18. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he is now in a position to supply any further information as to the insanitary conditions under which dried fruits for shipment to this country are handled and packed at Smyrna?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)

Reports are received from time to time from His Majesty's Consul-General at Smyrna. It would appear that a slight improvement has taken place in packing conditions.
