HC Deb 18 July 1949 vol 467 c942
2. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Minister of Food how many ships in United Kingdom ports are now being used by him for warehousing purposes; what is the tonnage involved; and what is the average time that the ships are so used.

The Minister of Food (Mr. Strachey)

None, Sir.

Sir W. Smithers

Is the Minister aware that that is quite contrary to the information I have received?
