HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 c1239
21. Mr. De la Bère

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will take some steps to make available a supply of. fresh fruits, such as plums, etc., for the naval depots during August, when supplies of home-grown fruit are plentiful and cheap?

Mr. Cooper

Fruit is purchased locally as required for inclusion in the dietary of ratings at the naval depots, and supplies of home grown fruit in season are fully utilised. Fresh fruit is also available for sale to the men at the canteens.

Mr. De la Bère

Will it be possible to give some members of the Fleet facilities for leave to visit the Vale of Evesham to view the egg plums?
