HC Deb 16 May 1949 vol 465 c11
18. Mr. Hugh Fraser

asked the Minister of Food whether he now has any further statement to make on his purchase of pork in the United States of America.

Mr. Strachey

No, Sir.

Mr. Fraser

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that statements have appeared in the Press on this matter? Can he explain where he is getting the additional meat to increase the fresh meat ration?

Mr. Strachey

The hon. Member's Question refers to an additional purchase of meat. This is part of the additional supplies we have, of course.
