HC Deb 20 January 1943 vol 386 c212
52. Captain P. Macdonald

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether any arrangements have yet been made to import lemons, oil and wine from North Africa?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Mr. Mabane)

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer I gave on 8th December to a similar Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Gillingham (Sir R. Gower).

Captain Macdonald

Is it not about time that something more useful should come out of that country than the spate of bad French politics which we are receiving to-day?

Mr. Mabane

I think that if my hon. and gallant Friend refers to the answer he will see the reason.
