§ 11. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that all the better types of dessert apples have disappeared from the shops since the control was re-imposed; and if he will take action to see that this fruit is available to the public.
§ Dr. SummerskillPractically the whole of the 1947 crop of better type dessert apples had been marketed by 1st February when apple prices were again controlled.
§ Mr. BaldwinIs the Minister aware that this is an argument in favour of doing away with controls where possible? Is the aware that when controls were re-imposed it was at the time when the apples that had been stored at the request of the Minister were just coming on to the market?
