§ 30. Mr. Percy Wellsasked the Minister of Food if he will raise the minimum fruit content of jam manufactured for sale in this country to not less than 50 per cent.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeThe minimum fruit standards for jam are being reviewed and a decision will be announced as soon as possible.
§ Mr. WellsIs the Minister aware that if he did this he would be able to cut the allocation to manufacturers by about 25 per cent., assist the horticultural industry, stop the wastage of fruit and give the housewives better value for their money?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeThat is what is being looked at at the moment.
