§ 15. Mr. Percy Wellsasked the Minister of Food what maximum prices have been fixed for home grown pears for next season's crop; and how these prices compare with those paid for the imported varieties.
§ Dr. SummerskillPrices of pears, both home-grown and imported, are at present controlled by the Pears Order, 1948, which came into operation on 11th January. The question whether or not a revision of these prices will be necessary before this year's crop of home-grown pears is harvested has not yet been decided.
