49. Lieut.-Commander Hutchison

asked the Minister of Food whether he is yet in a position to give any information on the proposed purchase of turkeys from the U.S.A.

The Minister of Food (Mr. Strachey)

I am sorry that I cannot add anything to the reply which I gave the hon. and gallant Member on 23rd April.

Lieut.-Commander Hutchison

is the Minister aware that these negotiations have been going on for four or five months? When can a decision be expected?

Mr. Strachey

The negotiations do not depend on me alone.
