HC Deb 21 February 1949 vol 461 c1574
14. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Food at what price he proposes to purchase eggs from the Overseas Food Corporation's Gambia poultry farm.

Mr. Strachey

The Overseas Food Corporation does not own or operate a poultry farm in Gambia. Perhaps the hon. Member is thinking of the Colonial Development Corporation.

Mr. Erroll

As I was thinking of the Colonial Development Corporation, will the Minister now answer my Question?

Mr. Strachey

I cannot answer the hon. Gentleman's Question because the Colonial Development Corporation has not yet offered any eggs to my Ministry.
