HC Deb 22 July 1942 vol 382 cc33-4
49. Mr. Emery

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether full and comprehensive arrangements have been made for the collection and distribution of the coming fruit crop; and whether any responsibility is placed upon owners of private orchards to avoid waste of fruit?

Mr. Mabane

Arrangements which are considered adequate for the collection and distribution of fruit crops in season, or shortly coming into season, have been completed, and the arrangements for later crops are in an advanced state of preparation. The reply to the last part of the Question is "Yes, Sir."

Commander Locker-Lampson

Will enough sugar be made available for those who want to make jam?
