HC Deb 01 March 1948 vol 448 cc6-7
12. Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Food whether the higher cost of recent imports from Denmark of butter, bacon and eggs will be met by a subsidy; or will retail prices be increased.

Dr. Summerskill

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for West Leicester (Mr. Janner) on 23rd January.

Mr. Marples

Can the hon. Lady give the House some indication of the percentage increases which these imports are costing us?

Dr. Summerskill

Not without notice of the question.
