HC Deb 10 July 1947 vol 439 c2422
40. Mr. George Jeger

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the importance of packing materials for the horticulture industry; and whether supplies of cellophane will be made available for wrapping and protecting various fruits and vegetables.

Sir S. Cripps

Within the limited supplies which are available, it is open to cellulose film manufacturers to provide what quantity they can for wrapping fruit and vegetables.

Mr. Jeger

Would my right hon. and learned Friend mind repeating the answer? I could not hear a single word of it.

Sir S. Cripps

Perhaps the hon. Member will read it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
