§ 43. Mr. Willisasked the Minister of Food whether it is intended to make bitter oranges available this year to housewives for the purpose of making marmalade.
§ Mr. StracheyIt is too early yet to say whether the supplies of bitter oranges we can get will be sufficient to enable us to make a distribution for domestic use, but we shall do so if we possibly can.
Mrs. ManningSupposing there are sufficient of these oranges for distribution, will my right hon. Friend ask his hon. Friend who looks after the distribution of fruit and vegetables to see that a more satisfactory distribution takes place than in previous years, because it has' often 20 happened in the past that some places got too many and others got none at all?
§ Mr. StracheyI will look into that matter.
§ Mr. WillisWill my right hon. Friend also see that Scotland gets some this year?
