§ 22. Mr. Niall Macphersonasked the Minister of Food what action he is taking to increase the allocation of imported fruit allotted to the district of Moffat, Dumfriesshire.
§ Dr. SummerskillMoffat has had as many allocations as any other part of Scotland, and the quantity of imported fruit sent into the area at each allocation has, in fact, been rather more than that to which, on a population basis, the district is strictly entitled.
§ Mr. MacphersonIn view of the fact that the answer to this Question is open to dispute at present, can the hon. Lady say when she is going to make the announcement which was promised some time ago on the whole question of imported fruit?
§ Dr. SummerskillI am quite prepared to make another review of allocations, and I hope to do it very soon.
