§ 56. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that religious bodies are unable to obtain nonalcoholic grape-juice; and whether he will permit importation of this for such purpose from soft currency countries.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe importation of grape-juice from soft currency countries to meet the requirements of religious bodies is already permitted.
§ Mr. FreemanIn view of that, may I ask the hon. Lady if she will let me have the name and address of someone in London from whom it can be obtained?
§ Mr. HouseIs the hon. Lady aware that the importation of fruit juices generally is far too low, having regard to their health attributes?
§ Dr. SummerskillI suggest that the hon. Member should buy fruit, of which there is plenty on the market, and squeeze it.
§ Major BeamishIs the hon. Lady aware that, whatever the shortage in nonalcoholic drink—and we very much hope something may be done about it—far more people are concerned with the shortage of alcoholic drinks?
