4. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food in view of the large number of tins of dehydrated potatoes which remain unsold, what steps he proposes to take to dispose of these to prevent, deterioration by long storage.
§ Dr. SummerskillI do not consider that any special arrangements need be made to 819 dispose of stocks held by distributors: some of those in the hands of manufacturers have already been sent to Berlin.
Mr. De la BèreCan the Minister tell us whether the stocks which are held throughout the country were produced in this country or whether they were purchased with dollars from America? I am not clear whether they were home produced or imported.
§ Dr. SummerskillA large part of them was home produced.
