HC Deb 05 July 1956 vol 555 c1519
18. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many licences he intends issuing for the importation in 1956–57 of strawberry pulp; what will be their total value; and

1. Strawberry pulp may be imported from the Sterling Area, Western European and certain other countries under the Open General Licence; individual licences are not therefore needed for imports from these countries.
2. The following bilateral quotas for fruit pulps, against which imports of strawberry pulp may be made, have been established for 1956 under Trade Arrangements with Eastern European countries:
Country Designation of quota Value of quota Period covered
£
Poland Fruit pulp of fruit grown in Poland 25,000 Calendar year 1956.
Hungary Fruit pulp (other than apricot, peach and pear). 3,125 1st January, 1956, to 31st March, 1956.
Fruit pulp derived from gruit grown in Hungary. 20,000 27th June, 1956, to 26th June, 1957.
Bulgaria Fruit pulp (other than grapefruit, apricot, peach, pear and pineapple). 150,000 22nd September, 1955, to 30th September, 1956.
3. A bilateral quota may also be established under the Trade Arrangement with Roumania which is still being negotiated.
4. If any applications are made for licences for the import of strawberry pulp outside these quotas, they will be considered on their merits at the time.
