HC Deb 29 April 1941 vol 371 c343
34. Mr. Mathers

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether further consideration has been given to the organisation of the preservation and distribution of home-grown fruit; and whether he has any further statement to make?

Major Lloyd George

I regret that I am not yet in a position to make any further statement on this matter.

Mr. Mathers

If I put down this Question in a week's time will the Minister be able to give a reply, and may I in the meantime send him a spontaneous petition from hundreds of housewives in my constituency, who feel the burden imposed by this centralisation method?

Major Lloyd George

By all me; ns, and if the hon. Gentleman puts a Question down next week, I think I shall be able to give him a reply.
