Dried Bananas

HC Deb 07 March 1949 vol 462 c804

41. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Food what imports of dried bananas he is now arranging for.

Dr. Summerskill

Arrangements have been made to allow the import under licence of 500 tons of dried bananas from the British Cameroons during the first six months of this year. I am prepared to ask my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to license further supplies, if available, from the British Cameroons or other easy currency areas if the prices asked are reasonable.
