HC Deb 04 December 1950 vol 482 c1
1. Sir Ian Fraser

asked the Minister of Food if he has yet found any more turkeys for Christmas.

The Minister of Food (Mr. Maurice Webb)

Supply prospects are a little brighter than they were a few weeks ago.

Sir I. Fraser

Will the right hon. Gentleman resist temptations to interfere with the law of supply and demand in this matter, lest he should make it impossible for this trade to recover itself for next year?

Mr. Webb

I am watching the operation of that law with great interest.
