11. Mr. Scott-Elliotasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that the quality of split peas available to the public has deteriorated during the past year; and what steps he is taking to improve the quality.
§ Mr. StracheyRecent supplies of yellow peas for splitting have been obtained from Denmark and Sweden and their quality has been very satisfactory. Green peas for splitting are mainly imported from Morocco and are also of good quality.
Mr. Scott-ElliotWill my right hon. Friend agree to look at a sample of these split peas, if I send them to him, which will show him how difficult they are to make into soup.
§ Mr. StracheyCertainly.
