§ 10. Mr. Fernyhoughasked the Minister of Food if he will control immediately the price of imported tomatoes.
§ Mr. StracheyPrice control on all tomatoes both home-grown and imported, will be re-imposed this season but I am not at present in a position to give full particulars.
§ Mr. FernyhoughIs my right hon. Friend aware that since this control was taken off tomatoes have risen 50 to 60 per cent.? Does he not agree that if this is a case of setting the people free, the sooner the shackles are reimposed the better for the community?
§ Mr. StracheyWhile not disagreeing with my hon. Friend's general statement, I must point out that there has been no price control on tomatoes this year.
