HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 cc348-9
13. Mr. Glossop

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the prospects of importing bananas from West Africa.

Mr. georģe Hall

The only region in British West Africa at present producing bananas for export on a commercial scale is the British Cameroons. One shipload of 70,000 stems is due at the end of this month but devastation by a recent severe tornado has made the prospects of further immediate consignments very doubtful.
