HC Deb 14 May 1941 vol 371 c1214
53. Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food when he proposes to fix reasonable prices for spring onions, lettuces and tinned carrots?

Major Lloyd George

My noble Friend does not see any need at present to control the prices of those fruits and vegetables of which ample supplies may be expected. The price of canned carrots is controlled by the Canned Vegetables (Maximum Prices) Order, 1941, which came into force on 5th May last.

Mr. Mathers

Does that Answer cover home tomatoes, which are costing is. for a two-ounce tomato?
