§ 52. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Food what imports of onions he expects to receive from Poland before the end of 1949.
§ Dr. SummerskillThese are private trade imports and I am unable to estimate what quantity will be received during the remainder of this year.
§ Major Legge-BourkeIs not the right hon. Lady aware that very little has come in under the Anglo-Polish Trade Agreement? Will she give us some indication whether there is to be a flood before the end of the year, and if so, could she say how it will affect the home grower?
§ Dr. SummerskillThe hon. and gallant Gentleman comes from an onion 1146 area, I believe, and will know that the production of onions is very small this year as compared with last year. I am sure that he will also know that the principal source of supply is not Poland but the Netherlands.
