HC Deb 30 March 1933 vol 276 cc1180-1
76. Mr. GLOSSOP

asked the hon. and gallant Member for Ipswich, as Chairman of the Kitchen Committee, the country of origin of the new potatoes which are now appearing upon the menus in the dining rooms of the House of Commons?

Sir JOHN GANZONI

Jersey, Sir.

Mr. GLOSSOP

Is my hon. Friend aware that on certain of the menus in the House of Commons on Monday night the word "Jersey" did not appear, and does he not think that by purchasing potatoes from overseas at the present time the Kitchen Committee are setting an unmoral example to housewives in this country?
