HC Deb 21 November 1951 vol 494 c386
72. Mr. Winterbottom

asked the Minister of Food what steps he proposes to take to link more closely the productive and distributive prices of fruit and vegetables, as promised in the Conservative manifesto.

Major Lloyd George

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Itchen (Mr. Morley) on 12th November.

Mr. Winterbottom

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the reply on the date which he mentioned indicates unfamiliarity with the trade, and will he read the reports of the various commissions in respect of fruit and vegetables and think again?
